I am very new on Postgresql. I have installed pgadmin4 on my Mac OS X. I try to create a very basic table with a column which has type varchar but it doesn't seem to have ti on the list of the UI.
Am I missing something?

PostgreSQL supports a character data type called VARCHAR. This data type is used to store characters of limited length. It is represented as varchar(n) in PostgreSQL, where n represents the limit of the length of the characters. If n is not specified it defaults to varchar which has unlimited length.
The File Menu¶ Click to open the Preferences dialog to customize your pgAdmin settings. If you have modified the workspace, click to restore the default layout.
Expand your table properties by clicking on it in the pgAdmin4 legend. Right-click on 'Constraints', select 'Create' --> 'Primary Key'to define a primary key column. On the Data Output tab at the bottom of the table below the last row, there will be an empty row where you can enter new data in an excel-like manner.
VARCHAR is an alias for CHARACTER VARYING , so no difference, see documentation :) The notations varchar(n) and char(n) are aliases for character varying(n) and character(n) , respectively. character without length specifier is equivalent to character(1) .
According to documentation both character varying and varchar is correct.
Select character varying as the data type in pgadmin 4.
