Etymology[edit]
Probably a shortening of the longer term 英数字 (eisūji, “alphanumeric character”), itself a combination of 英字 (eiji, “alphabetic character, Latin letter”, literally “English character”) and 数字 (sūji, “number, numeric character”).
Alternatively, may be a compound of 英 (ei, “English”, here, in reference to the Latin alphabet used to write English) + 数 (sū, “number; numeric”).
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
