character

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'a letter' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'an amusing person' is the second definition.
'character' can be an answer for 'person' (character is a kind of person). I am not certain of the 'an amusing' bit.

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for character that I've seen before include "Person in a play; letter" , "Letter or number" , "Part" , "Personal moral qualities" , "Letter or figure" .)
