[Aleph] \char bug when OTP active

[YJLee]

Hi! 

This is a bug I find in my project (Chinese+Omega),  you may interesting,

BUG:

    \char<number>  command  need a blank space when OTP is active, otherwise character will disappear or lambda don't pass.


A success test  file without OTP is the following ,
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
%
% \char bug test1, without otp
%
\documentclass[10pt, a4paper]{book}
\usepackage{marvosym} 
\begin{document}
 \begin{enumerate}
  \item \$               %<-- ok
  \item \textdollar      %<-- ok
  \item \char36          %<-- ok
  \item {\char36}        %<-- ok
  \item {\char36 }       %<-- ok
  \item \char36\char36   %<-- ok
  \item \char36 \char36  %<-- ok
  \end{enumerate} 
  
  \Stopsign   from package marvosym %<--  ok
\end{document}
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

When any OTP is active like this

---------------------------------------------------------
%
% \char bug test2, with otp
%

\def\rmdefault{omlgc}
\def\ttdefault{uctt}

\ocp\TexUTF=inutf8
\ocp\OCPunitolat=uni2lat
\InputTranslation currentfile \TexUTF
\ocplist\inputtrans=%\addbeforeocplist 1000 \TexUTF
\addbeforeocplist 1000 \OCPunitolat
\nullocplist
\pushocplist\inputtrans

\documentclass[10pt, a4paper]{book}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\usepackage[greek, ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage{marvosym}


\begin{document}
 \begin{enumerate}
  \item \$                %<-- ok
  \item \textdollar       %<-- ok
  \item \char36           %<-- ok
  \item {\char36}         %<-- disappear 
  \item {\char36 }        %<-- ok
%  \item \char36\char36   %<-- fail to pass elambda , need comment   
  \item \char36 \char36   %<--  ok
  \end{enumerate} 
  
  \Stopsign   from package marvosym  %<-- disappear , if we don't 
                                                            %<-- change \def\Stopsign{{\mvchr33}} to \def\Stopsign{{\mvchr33 }} 
                                                            %<-- in  marvosym.sty 
\end{document}
  
-----------------------------------------------------------

The character emitted by \char command without following another  blank space will disappear or even stop elambda .

Since command \char was used in symbols font definitions in  package like marvosym, the symbols disappear if we 
don't  add additional blank space for every symbol, .. a lot of work.

Or someone have fixed this bug ?
