Default Weird capacitor text on Sanyo caps

I wrote the uf and voltage of all the caps im going to replace in my amp
so i will have a clear list of what i need to order.

I got one Sanyo electrolyt saying 2,2/10 does that mean it's 2.2uf 10v?
Why is it a ',' and not a dot between the two 2's?

and i got another two very small Sanyo electrolyts (half the size of the one i mentioned above) looking like that: http://www.milkbands.co.il/exmp.JPG
Why is the dot before the 22? is it 2.2uf 10v? and if it is, why is the cap
much smaller than the one with the same uf and volts from the one i mentioned above?

Roi.

In Europe for example we use a "," instead of a "." for decimals.
So 2.2uF would be written as 2,2uF. Another way to write 2.2u is 2u2.
2,2uF 10V sounds like a coupling cap of some sort. Would it make sense to have a 10V cap in this position?
.22 is most likely 0.22uF, often written an u22, or 220n.

the dot is primarily anglo-american usage, other parts of the world use the comma.
.22/10 would probably be 0.22uF 10V
