Representing mu in bibliography source file

I use JabRef for my bibliography database; it's in ASCII text file format. Some
abstracts report concentrations in micrograms and have been entered as 'ug.'
How can I enter the mu symbol so it displays properly in LyX documents?

Looking in /usr/share/X11/en_US.UTF-8/Compose I see multikey solutions;
i.e.,
<Multi_key> <m> <u>			: "µ"	mu # MICRO SIGN
<Multi_key> <slash> <u>			: "µ"	mu # MICRO SIGN
<Multi_key> <u> <slash>			: "µ"	mu # MICRO SIGN
but while these work in text files, they're not the same as \mu in LaTeX.

Help's appreciated.

Regards,

Rich
