Charge asymmetry in the processes e⁺e^– → μ⁺μ^–γ and e⁺e^– → π⁺π^–γ is measured using 232 fb^–1 of data collected with the BABAR detector at e⁺e^– center-of-mass energies near 10.58 GeV. An observable is introduced and shown to be very robust against detector asymmetries while keeping a large sensitivity to the physical charge asymmetry that results from the interference between initial- and final-state radiation (FSR). The asymmetry is determined as a function of the invariant mass of the final-state tracks from production threshold to a few GeV/c². It is compared to the expectation from QED for e⁺e^– → μ⁺μ^–γ, and from theoretical models for e⁺e^– → π⁺π^–γ. A clear interference pattern is observed in e⁺e^– → π⁺π^–γ, particularly in the vicinity of the f₂(1270) resonance. As a result, the inferred rate of lowest-order FSR production is consistent with the QED expectation for e⁺e^– → μ⁺μ^–γ, and is negligibly small for e⁺e^– → π⁺π^–γ.
