What does 4ko mean?

In Chapter-8 I read this:

The translation of a linear address to a physical address is done in multiple steps:

The processor use the registry CR3 to know the physical address of the pages directory. The first 10 bits of the linear address represent an offset (between 0 and 1023), pointing to an entry in the pages directory. This entry contains the physical address of a pages table. the next 10 bits of the linear address represent an offset, pointing to an entry in the pages table. This entry is pointing to a 4ko page. The last 12 bits of the linear address represent an offset (between 0 and 4095), which indicates the position in the 4ko page.

Should 4ko be 4kb ？

In France, French Canada and Romania, octet is used in common language instead of byte when the 8-bit sense is required, for example, a megabyte (MB) is called a megaoctet (Mo).
