    @natinaum i say it with the v but as if it was an f. Sounds a bit like far.

    @rutee07 Okay, I just pronounced it always like i would if it would be a singel word. Without the context of the word charakter.

    But with the the context of your mother tongue given, it's understandable.

    Char like Charmander.
    But mostly just because pronouncing it like a shortened “character” sounds like “care”.

    It's a /kʰ/ sound because it stands for "character". Just like GIF is pronounced with a hard 'g' because it stands for _Graphics_ Interchange Format.
