On the packages and batteries there is additionally the IEC-notation bbjt listed above. So you can expand your table to: ANSI - German - IEC - 日语 - 汉语 AAA - Micro - (L)R03 - 単四 - 七号电池 AA - Mignon - (L)R6 - 単三 - 五号电池 C - Baby - (L)R14 - 単二 - 三号电池 D - Mono - D - (L)R20 - 単一 - 一号电池 9V-Block - 6 F22 resp. 6 LR61 - 1604 D - [?] - [?]
