c

latin small letter c

Lowercase c

The letter c can mean “see” in English texting, but alone it isn't a clear reply. In “c u” or “cu,” it reads as “see you.” Adding “next Tuesday” can turn that goodbye into an insult.

Text symbol

What c means

Yes, when the surrounding words support that reading. In English, the letter names c and u sound like “see” and “you.” If a lone c doesn't fit the conversation, ask what the sender meant.

C-for-see belongs in casual chats, not formal writing.

Avoid “c u next Tuesday” if you mean an innocent goodbye.

Is c u next Tuesday an insult?

It can be. C and U plus the initials of “next Tuesday” spell “cunt,” a vulgar insult. Actual Tuesday plans allow a literal reading; don't assume hostility from the phrase alone.
