> Anyway, you may notice char() discards trailing blanks, varchar does not:

More precisely, converting from char(n) to varchar or text discards
trailing blanks.  Since both substring() and the || operator take
text argument types, an implicit coercion to text is happening in
these examples ... and that's where the blanks went.
