Well of course it doesn't equate "C", it is just simply a character that I chose to have symbolize it. According to my textbook, "χ", at least in the ancient pronunciation, equates to "kh", as in backhand. This program isn't made to directly phonetically translate words, perhaps "hellenize" is not a fit name, but merely to replace certain patterns with proper characters. For example, the sequence "`h" would be transpired to "ὴ", not because the letter "h" is phonetically equivalent to eta (the rough breathing sound does not actually have a sound in Greek, merely a notation above letters), but because the two glyphs look similar, at least when they are capitalized.

I do, however appreciate that you pointed that out, as I am still learning Greek, and by no means an expert. Obviously I'd like to know when I have false assumptions about something.
