I remember calling C#, C-Fis, because this was the only other name for this symbol than Hashtag and C Hashtag sounded wrong. But C Fis sounded wrong too and then I decided to just don’t say it’s name and if I have too say C Hashtag or Fis or whatever, which was definitely the worst option.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I remember calling it c-sharp

@JackToolsNet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sharp is the opposite of flat, which is a lowering of pitch. There is an associated sharp symbol, ♯, which may be found in key signatures or as an accidental.

So basically you code C♯

@Hammster C-Fis, however, in German, would translate to C-F-sharp.

I think I'm going to call it Cis (musical translation of C sharp) when talking German.

German speaking people here, any better suggestion?

@-xlf Why would you translate a name, though? You wouldn't translate Adam to Adolf.

I'm deeply offended 😋

@-xlf I only knew # as fis. I didn’t knew there were cis, gis, etc.

@electrineer Actually, doesn't appear to be *that* uncommon:

e.g.: I never hear anybody say

"age tea em el", instead, we say "ha te em el" (html)

or, with names: I don't think English people say "Louis quatorze", in German, we actually also translate the name, too, he's called "Ludwig der Vierzehnte" in history class here. I do admit that this isn't done for contemporary names, still non-pronounceable parts of the written names are still translated, such as "Elizabeth the second / die Zweite"

@-xlf I'd pronounce single letters and numerals as in the language I'm speaking. So C would be "see", not "sii". But I consider C Sharp to be the name of the language, not the note C#.
