    The literal "W" is not a single char, but a null-terminated string consisting of 'W' and '\0'.

    One way to get the desired behaviour by assigning to a const char* and printing that with %s

    const char* q = "W";
printf("%s", q);

    As pointed out in comments, you could catch this type of error by increasing your compiler’s warning levels.
