SMD code 1212 — 12.1 kΩ
A surface-mount resistor has no bands. This one is a four-digit marking: 121 × 10². Parts marked this way are usually ±1% or tighter.

reads as
12.1 kΩ
The same part, in bands
The through-hole version of 12.1 kΩ carries 5 colour bands instead.

Same value, other markings
12.1 kΩ is printed several ways depending on the part's precision and size. A board can carry all of them at once.

Codes you will mistake it for
One character apart from 1212. On a 0402 part these are a fraction of a millimetre of printing — worth a second look before you solder.
