Capacitor Question

Hi All...
I'm working on a project using multiple TSL 230 light to frequency sensors. So far things look promising, but I encountered a bit of puzzlement. Sorting through my ceramic capacitors, I found a few with only one digit. Googling only turned up results with 2 digits or more.
Am I right in guessing that single digit represents a value in pF without any multipliers?
Thanks for any answers to such a rookie question!

Yeah... way small. Have to take off my glasses and hold them right under my desk lamp to read them!
Many thanks!!!

It makes a big difference. I can even read lettering on surface mount parts with them.
