Stuart is absolutely right. Enharmonics like C and D may share the
same glyph (outward appearance, sound)
I was told it was not true for some musical instruments like violin where sounds
are modulated around a median tone, and for which a excercized hear can

The name C sharp
Philippe Verdy [EMAIL PROTECTED] va escriure:
The musical sharp sign, of course, is U+266F, making the correct
spelling C.
From TUS: These symbols are typically used for text decorations, but they
may also be treated as normal text characters in applications such as
typesetting chess books,
fileextensions that are not obviously referencing the 'C#'
language (remember that this name is pronounced very differently across various
languages, and NOBODY says C sharp' in French, where we simply read it as C
dise using the most common name to refer to the keyboard symbol, which is a
English number
To add to the confusion, the ECMA-334 standard writes in its reference PDF (page
27):
This clause is informative.
(...)
The name C# is pronounced C Sharp.
The name C# is written as the LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C (U+0043) followed
by the NUMBER SIGN # (U+000D).
End
So the name (or trademark?) is meant to be pronounced sharp (in
English),
visualized logographically with a sharp symbol, and entered as a hash (#)
symbol
which don't work within file extensions in so many tools.
I don't think you understand... the '.c#' file extension to which you
refer
Quoting Philippe Verdy [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
The file extension is '.cs', since including punctuation marks would
cause problems on many systems.
The correct spelling is with a sharp sign, not a number sign, as
documented by Microsoft themselves in various places:

The name C# is pronounced C Sharp.
The name C# is written as the LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C (U+0043) followed
by the NUMBER SIGN # (U+000D).
End of informative text.
Gotta love a language with a carriage return in it's name :)

Pronouncing C? as D flat is musically correct, at least in the
equal-tempered environment,
I'm astonished at a Unicoder coming to this conclusion! C sharp is C
sharp, and D flat is D flat. To conflate the two on the grounds of
their auditory
