You should read the manual chapters about text strings.  Here is a simple
scene (assuming you have the font courier.ttf, of course any font will do).

#version 3.5;

camera
{
 location  <0.0, 2.0, -6.0>
 direction 1.5*z
 right     4/3*x
 look_at   <1.0, 0.8, 0.0>
}

light_source
{
 <-30, 30, -30>
 color rgb 1
}

text
{
 ttf "courier.ttf", "\u00b5",
 0.2, 0
 texture { pigment { color rgb 1 } }
 scale 4
}
