Kosher signs

I didn't realize that they were so many signs on various products identifying Kosher products like: K, Ko, UD ( I was told). a K in combimation with a Hebrew Sign that I can not reproduce here on the computer, etc,etc.

Would you please be so kind as to let me know where I can obtain a list with all the possible signs - if possible - that would identify Kosher products.

Thank you,
