In plain language, this expression means the variable represents a number in the set of complex numbers.
The Latin capital letter C is used in mathematics as a variable. For example, it appears in geometric formulas as a variable representing the circumference of a circle. It also is used to represent the set of complex numbers, although this is usually indicated with a "double-struck" typeface.

Set of integers symbol.
The set of rational numbers is denoted with the Latin Capital letter Q presented in a double-struck type face.

Complex numbers are an extension of the real number system with useful properties that model two dimensional space and trigonometry.
The set of complex numbers contains all possible complex numbers. Each complex number has a real part and an complex part.
