What's a "Ch" in MSVC++?

I was thinking about my code, and I accidentally clicked the Ln 74 at the bottom of the MSVC++ window. I got a screen that said Line number (1 - 136):, and it jumped the cursor to the line I entered. When I click the Col 1 or Ch 1 I get the same screen.

I know Ln 74 means I'm on line 74, and Col 1 means I'm on column 1, but what does Ch 1 mean?

As Paul wrote, it is probably character. The difference between column and character being due to the width of tabs. A tab is one character that can occupy multiple columns.
