Check below link if you have version greater than or equal to R2017A
Discussion of character strings is not very relevant to the question of whether MATLAB can handle units.

Units are now in MATLAB if you have Symbolic Math Toolbox. Try:
>> u = symunit;
>> x = 2*u.meter
x =
2*[m]
>> x = rewrite(x,u.ft)
x =
(2500/381)*[ft]
>> double(separateUnits(x))
ans =
6.5617

Note: the implementation of units has difficulty with quantity 0, which tends to make the most difference with temperature (e.g., 0C and 0F)

In general, MATLAB variables do not have units, and what you have written is not a valid MATLAB syntax (to my knowledge).
There is a contribution to the File Exchange that allows for assigning unit to variables: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/29621-units-conversion-toolbox/content/UnitConversion-rev2/html/defining.html.

That syntax is specifically for use in the MuPAD Notebook Interface (as stated by the note at the top of this documentation page) not in MATLAB.

ok,but how to use mupad.i want define a variable in mupad and use that in matlab workspace.
30 * sym('unit::mm')
is no longer supported. These days you should use symunit . Or if you are despairate,
30 * feval(symengine, 'unit::mm')
