Does this mean that 'char' is also pronounced 'care'?

[aspenmayer]

When it’s short for character, sure.

Are you being serious? I only knew one person who did this in real life, and even they said it almost like 'car'.

[aspenmayer]

Totally serious. I think this pronunciation varies with accent.

Or “charisma”!

[0xabe]

I had a professor who pronounced char as in “char-broiled”. At least it rhymed when she constantly repeated “char star”, referring to char pointers (char*).

That's how I learned it using C in the 80s. Maybe Millennials are redefining it too.

This is how most programmers in the UK refer to it too.
