How does one know if a bolt is metric or not by just looking at it?

sometimes the bolt/screw manufacture puts a head marking on there product. since most of the stuff comes from china there are many cases where it is a B but it looks like a 8. They also put markings to make it look like a higher grade but it is only the manufacture markings.
