• Synonym字じNeutralCharacters, especially kanji; also handwriting, as in 「字が上手」. 「文字」 is more formal and covers all kinds of writing symbols.
• SynonymキャラクターNeutralLoanword. In computing it means a character; in daily use it usually means a (fictional) character or personality, so for written characters it sounds technical.
• Related書記素しょきそWrittenLinguistics term for the smallest unit of a writing system, i.e. a grapheme; strictly academic.
• Related文字記号WrittenFormal term for characters as writing symbols; found in academic and technical explanations.
• Antonym音声おんせいNeutralSound or speech, the counterpart of written 「文字」, as in 「音声入力」.

Use 「文字」 as the general term for written symbols. For everyday comments on how well someone writes, say 「字」; for characters in computing, 「文字」 or 「キャラクター」 both work. 「音声」 is the opposite, spoken rather than written.
