It's a new address format for Bitcoin Cash proposed by BitPay, to prevent BTC/BCC address confusion. It's not widely used, currently.

  • The old addresses that start with 1 (P2PKH) are converted to addresses that start with C

  • The old addresses that start with 3 (P2SH) are converted to addresses that start with H

You can use this "address translator" to translate the addresses: https://bitpay.github.io/address-translator/
