That does exist btw. though I don't see any Radiation units in this mostly historic unit system:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_units_of_measurement

However, like everyday live and pub culture, things like "Pint" in the UK are still very much alive and used, so we might see few of these, e.g. for liquid measurements (even rain levels?!) also still around in Japan.

Rick,

Thanks for the quick reply. I can very well imagine, and I'm sure, some
people were probably confronted with Radiation Levels based on a "Japanese
Imperial System"?[?]

The way this mailing list processed the thread and special characters like
"Degree" sign shows quite drastically, that a practice by a few
Cosm/Pachube feeds I once saw to exchange such special characters or take
them directly as URL arguments can also be tricky.

While the Slovenian example I gave still has the best Human readable
rendering IMHO, the one from Portland saying "Deg C" feels a bit like a
UCUM-inspired representation of Celsius, except the unique UCUM code for
Degrees Celsius is "Cel", that for Degrees Fahrenheit "degF". Don't ask me
why, but they are all unique, that's the most important thing about UCUM.
Each code maps to a "print" representation, the nice one with graphical
Unicode special characters, but only the use of either case-sensitive or
ALL-UPPERCASE UCUM code is encouraged for data exchange of any kind and
format.

One of the reasons why I suggested the Lua side of this IWG might consider
looking at a UCUM parser/processor, similar to that, UOMo UCUM alraedy has
for Java.
