Generally it would also have a Bb, so C7b9.
It also can't have both a C# and a C in terms of being musically correct, so that's a C and a Db.
Also - since it's diminished, you could also think of it as 3 other chords if you do choose to have the Db as the root, it could also be Edim or Gdim or Bbdim
What you decide upon would probably depend on what it resolves to - what follows this chord?
+1
You probably also need to know what exact notes are there in what order
As a consequence of C♯ remaining, C needs to become B♯. Leave E and G unchanged.
This gives you C♯. E. G. B♯. C♯dim/maj7. An unusual, but perfectly feasible chord.
However, if G becomes F♯♯, then you have C♯. E. B♯. F♯♯. The chord being C♯min/maj7add♯11.
Carry on and turn E into D♯♯. You now have C♯. B♯. D♯♯. F♯♯. The chord being C♯maj7add♯9♯11(no third)
Given that @Philtre has shown the position of the notes on the piano above, and the fact that the chord has an ambient nature, I suspect the last chord is the most likely one, as chords without a Third have a undefined sound to them because they are neither Major nor Minor.
So it’d be an A chord in 1st inversion, with a 5th and a 7th; it also has a minor 3rd, the C. (the altered scale contains both the major 3rd and the minor 3rd, although the major 3rd is actually a diminished 4th but fuck that. Oh and the proper altered scale doesn’t have a perfect 5th but fuck that too). And on the way to the Dm, you woul ... sod it, here’s a vid:

B D# A C# F
I call it the Lately chord, it's a sort of sub for an Fdom7 before a Bb. But what actually is it?! 3:31 here:

As you say it’s a tritone sub for the V chord in a
ii - V - I. It would ‘ordinarily’ be F#7#5 etc, but using C in the bass creates that chromatic movement from C#m7 to B.
Can’t beat Stevie for harmonic goodness.

A blind pianist no less, I’ve yet to play a Stevie song that was written in C or Am... anyone wanting to play in unfriendly keys for guitar, without delving into jazz, could do much worse than learning some Stevie tunes. Anyway back on topic...
