Units are identifiers. For example meter `<mi mathvariant="normal">m</mi>` or second `<mi mathvariant="normal">s</mi>`. When units are written using multiple letters, they should be marked up as a single element: `<mi>Nm</mi>`. Depending on the layout of the unit, you have to use other MathML elements to mark up a single unit such as meter per second squared:

It is common in school books to use "crossing out" of elements in expressions. These can't be replicated reliably with just MathML.
