While "uppercase English alphabetic character" is mouthful, it is 100% precise, which is desirable. A random bag of other ideas: We could also say "letter" instead of "alphabetic character", especially when `char' type is irrelevant or clear from context. Also, "capital" is often written instead of "uppercase", as in "capital letter", which reads rather smoothly.
