Notes:

 – To enter a unit in 2-D Math input, select the unit from the appropriate Units palette. If the unit you want is not there, select $\mathrm{unit}$ and then enter the unit.
 – In Maple 2015 and later versions, the double brackets around a unit are not displayed unless you are editing the unit.
