Since I stumbled over it just yesterday and posted a pic, and it was a real unit used in the early 1900's:

kilograms per square centimetre.

The actual gauge had it as, and I quote: "Kg. pr. qcm."

It equals ~0.98 bar pressure.

The gauge is on a water flow rate governor in a hydro power station, the gauge dated 1912.
