     character(length = 0)
     as.character(x)

_V_a_l_u_e:

     `character' creates a character vector of the specified length.
     The elements of the vector are all equal to `""'.

     `as.character' attempts to coerce its argument to be of character
     type.

     `is.character' returns `TRUE' or `FALSE' depending on whether its
     argument is of character type or not.
