Ah, that explains why it works for millimeter. Multiplying two millimeter
units together gives 10^-6, which has a symbol. Does this mean that the IO
can't handle units that have base units raised to some power that does not
correspond to a symbol, or is this just supposed to be done a different way?

Looking at the libraries definition of farad (which contains seconds to the
fourth power), a derived dimension is defined for capacitance, and then an
a unit for that dimension is created. Should I be creating the centimeter
squared unit from the area dimension directly instead of trying to build it
from already defined units?

Thanks you for the help.
