Germans use ČS for “Tschechoslowakei”. Yes, really − not only is Č not in the word, it’s also not in the German alphabet.

My eternal gratitude to anyone who can find the old Jonathan Katz stand up bit where he was spelling things out ridiculously to a 411 representative. I must have taped over my old VHS with it.
When I used it everyday I knew it by heart. Now its faded from the forefront of my mind and sometimes it just isn’t worth the effort to recall it. If it mattered I would care.
My last name has a z in it and I had a customer service person say “z as in xylophone?”
C for [ˌt͡ʃɛ.kʰɪ.sl̥oʊ̯.ˈvɑ.kʰi.ə] (Yes I did narrow transcription for the purpose of making it look worse 💀)
