Is this capacitor marking in pF or µF?

Encoding for Ceramic Capacitors. Ceramic capacitors encoding consists 1-3 digits. If the capacitor code consist only 1 or 2 digits, it is simply their capacitance value in PicoFarads (pF). For example if a ceramic capacitor has a code ''5'' and other has ''47'', their respective capacitance values are 5 pF and 47 pF.

Capacitor code table

It is not certain that manufacturers follow the marking standard, so you have to look at the datasheet from the manufacturer to be sure. If the capacitor is used as part of a frequency forming network, it has to be the exact same capacitance, else the circuit might not work as you found out with a larger capacitor. 1K2 is voltage code for 1200VDC.

Capacitors

Not all capacitors are created equal. Each capacitor is built to have a specific amount of capacitance. The capacitance of a capacitor tells you how much charge it can store, more capacitance means more capacity to store charge. The standard unit of capacitance is called the farad, which is abbreviated F.
