         {kibibyte}, {K}, {KB}, {kB}, {KiB}]

from The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (8 July 2008)

kibibyte

   <unit> The official ISO[?] name for 1024 {bytes}, to
   distinguish it from 1000 bytes which they call a kilobyte.
   "Mebibyte", "Gibibyte", etc, are prefixes for other powers of
   1024.  Although this new naming standard has been widely
   reported in 2003, it seems unlikely to catch on.
