PrintableASCII 107 | Hex 0x6B | U+006B
ASCII 107 encodes lowercase k. In computing, k traditionally stands for kilo (1,000), but in binary contexts it means 1,024 (2 to the 10th power). The IEC standardized Ki (kibi) in 1998 to distinguish binary 1,024 from metric 1,000, but most software still uses k and K ambiguously. In vim, k moves the cursor up one line. Kubernetes is commonly abbreviated as K8s, where 8 represents the eight letters between k and s.
