Thank you for reporting this.
The issue is actually about the "\muF" unit that should be "\mu F" 
instead, to be a valid LaTeX input for rendering on the icon. The same 
issue appears for the Inductor and the Resistor, for the same range of 
values.
These issues are being fixed on CodeReview 
<https://codereview.scilab.org/20901>.
I don't know any workaround, except fixing the 3 files as shown on 
CodeReview, and recompiling the libraries of macros in the 
SCI/modules/scicos_blocks/macros/Electrical directory.

Regards
Samuel
