You can use %index(variable name, index). While it's generally used for getting a list value at index, it can also be used to get a specific character at index.
let's say you have a variable called DF Variable and it's equals to [Text]DiamondFire. You can get a text value and name it %index(DF Variable, 8) and it will return an F since the 8th letter in the word DiamondFire is F. However, this does not have handling if the index is out of range, so if you do %index(DF Variable, 12) it will return nothing, and if you put it in a send message even with other stuff, the send message will not send anything, so be careful of that. Another thing is you can replace the number with a %var(variable name) and it should...
