"How do we know the canon pronunciation of Chara's name?"

1) Pronunciations aren't canon...

2) Chara is probably just short for character, in Undertale game files there's obj_mainchara (Frisk) and obj_truechara (the character we know as Chara). Other evidence Chara is just short for character is that if you change your name in the game files to make it empty, it's replaced ingame with CHARA... probably being short for CHARACTER as the game doesn't know your name anymore. Besides, ever seen any evidence about Chara's name being canon in Undertale except for the easteregg of actually naming yourself Chara which makes it say "The true name." which might as well be an easteregg for the name placeholder and the game files containing obj_mainchara and obj_truechara?
