hi,
how can i get rectangle of a character, not a text item, not a word in TRichViewEdit?

GetItemClientCoords returns coordinates of item.

or how to select a character in a word by code?

Positions of characters are not stored. They can be calculated, but it's quite complicated (and the code will be different when RTL support is enabled and disabled).
If you need to select a character, use SetSelectionBounds method.
