Not only that, Ki is non standard. I have never seen KiG for kilograms,
or KiM for kilometers. Are milligrams now MiG and hectograms now HeG?
I think someone was bored one day. Or this is some emerging EU standard?

To answer your question, I do not know where to change it. Perhaps in
the locale settings where you set preferences for how money, date and
such thing are specified?
