If you declare it outside of any function without any explicit
qualifiers, it will be a static variable, hence its value will be 0
(i.e. '\0').

Re: Value of uninitialized char's a cool scene! Dig it!

No it won't. It will have static duration. But it will not be "a
static variable". Indeed, if declared with any qualifiers (except
typedef) it will be an object with static duration. But that does not
make it a static qualified object (unless, of course, it is declared
with a static qualifier).
It's just a nitpick; but let's get our terminology straight so we
don't confuse each other.
