They mean a mix of letters and numbers such a aa11.com or bb22.com (Examples only).
LLLL refers to domain names with only alphabets such as abcd.com or wxyz.com

CCCC may also refer to 4 letter domains with the letters being consonants like "fgjk"

I think there is a more clear abbrevation for 4-Letter domains as LLLL Which I ofcourse know.

No. That's still LLLL. Technically, LLLL domains are subset of CCCC domains. But colloquially, CCCC always refers to domain names with a mix of letters and numbers. LLLL always refers to any domain with only alphabets.

Edit: Domain name with all consonants are referred to a CHIP LLLL or CHIP 4L and almost never as CCCC. The only time C is used to represent a consonant is when it is paired with V to represent vowels

You are right, CCCC usually stands for 4 characters.

Technically, LLLL are a subset of CCCC domains, as you said, but in the LLLL set, there is also a CCCC subset for only consonants ( at least in Shortnames.com).

Yes, 4 Consonant domains are a subset of LLLL but shortnames CCCC list is the one as per my earlier definition (mixture of letters and numbers).
