how to abbreviate the word Character and how German programmers pronounce it

We know, that in a few "modern" programming languages the word "character" as an IT term gets abbreaviated as "char". Do you have any idea, of how many coders pronounce it? They pronounce it like the "char-" as in "Charlie". Why would actually anybody pronounce the abbrevation so much different to the unabbreviated word?
