Chaplin character (5)
I believe the answer is:
tramp
'chaplin character' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for tramp that I've seen before include "Walk heavily or wearily" , "I might hitch a lift" , "Hike" , "man down on his luck" , "Beggar or vagrant" .)
