a) A unit of measurement of the number of typographic characters that fit on a one inch line of printed type.

Please use a type that is 10 characters per inch.

b) A unit of measurement of the amount of characters per inch ("linear packing density") when storing data on certain types of magnetic media or tape, used to measure storage density that recoding medium possesses.
