CH (tiny CH) is one digraph Latin alphabet composed of one C and of one H.

Linguistics

The CH digraph is used by various languages to note different sounds:

In English and in Castilian, inter alia, "CH" represents one affriquée consonant post-alveolar deaf person ([ T?? ] inAPI).
In French and in Portuguese, it generally represents one deaf post-alveolar fricative consonant ([?]).
In Italian, it represents, in front of an I or an E, one deaf velar occlusive consonant ([ K ]).
In several languages gaelic, Germanic and Slavic, like in Yiddish and in other languages still, it represents one deaf velar fricative consonant ([ X ]).
In German, "CH" accounts for two allophones : the deaf velar fricative consonant [ X ] when it follows one back vowel or one [ has ] and deaf palatal fricative consonant [ ç ] in initial position or after one former vowel.

Alphabetical order

The digraph "CH" is regarded as a letter with whole share in the alphabets chamorro, Czech, Slovak and ?acinka. It was it also until 1994 in Castilian.

In the alphabet chamorro, it is classified between B and it D (this language does not use C alone). In the Czech alphabet, Slovak and?acinka, between H and it I.

Data-processing representation

With the difference of other digraphs, there is not any encoding of CH in the shape of only one sign. It is always carried out by joining the letters C and H.
