Description
There appears to be no way to insert a ± symbol in units, since \pm is replaced with "pm" (for picometer). \mp for the opposite still works, however.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Reproduce a unit containing \pm and compare it with \mp, then trace the unit parsing or symbol replacement logic. Done means \pm can insert the plus-minus symbol while the existing picometer handling for pm still works.
