You're joking, right ?

kilo is 'k' , at least by SI ( the standard for measure units ).

deka is 'da'
hecto is 'h' 
centi is 'c'
deci is 'd'
mili is 'm'
micro is a greek letter , usualy 'u'  is used in ASCII texts
nano is 'n'
pico is 'p'

mega is 'M'   1E6
giga is 'G'   1E9
tera is 'T'   1E12
peta is 'P'   1E15
exa is 'X' ?  1E18
yotta is 'Y' ? 1E21  #
zetta is 'Z' ? 1E24  # this two I got from that ISO draft document I
can't find anymore
