How do they pronounce “XCF” such that it’s “a XCF file” and not “an XCF file”? “Xeceff”?

I find some word processors don't test for vowel sound, and only adhere to the actual vowel letter.

In my mind it’s similar to exif

The beginning of “XCF” sounds similar to the beginning of “Exit”.

With “a” vs “an”, the pronunciation is more important than the spelling.
