charF

CharF is not a universally defined term in computing or typography. Depending on the context, it may appear as an identifier, a function name, or a shorthand for a concept involving characters. Because there is no standard definition, explanations for charF are project-specific rather than normative.

In programming, charF commonly serves as a function or macro name where “char” indicates a character and “F” suggests formatting, frequency, or a function. Examples might include a function named charF that converts a character to upper or lower case, or a macro that fetches a character’s code or formats output. In codebases, the exact behavior should be verified in source comments or project documentation.

In data analysis and optical character recognition contexts, charF can denote a feature related to a character, such as a character feature vector, or a field storing a character-level property in a dataset.

In font studies or typography, charF might be used as an internal abbreviation to refer to a particular character feature set, such as stroke count, curvature, or other glyph properties.

Because charF is not standardized, readers should consult the documentation of the specific project or dataset where the term appears. See also: character, char, Unicode, encoding, font features, feature vector.
