Thanks for tracking down this problem!

Just commenting out isn't the right action.  Change the string within
the source file (.c or something) and add a comment preceding the
string.  Cf. how it is done for several "about" entries (auther names);
from gnome-core:

	/* if your encoding allows it, use aacute (U00E1) 
	 * for the 'a' of 'Ban' */
	N_("Szabolcs 'Shooby' Ban"),

Use the same technique to describe µ, please.
