In FME 'char' is the same as String - it's just a different name.

 

You can see a list of the different types which FME supports here for attributes: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_Workbench/!FeatureTypeProperties/FME-Data-Types.htm

 

The writers usually have a sub-set of this list based on what the output/input format supports. There is some more format specific info here: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_ReadersWriters/shapefile/user-attributes.htm
