'He is a bit of a character'

[Hedonist]

Hey guys,

Would any of you be kind enough to explain me what "He is a bit of a character" means? I checked many online dictionaries and idiom archieves, but could not find it.

Many thanks,

[Yuri Yurinov]

Hi, Hedonist,

I think it is used informally, for example in a following way: "That was a bit of a job." - i.e. the job was rather difficult. In your case, I think, it means that someone has got not too simple character.

Good morning Yuri. It can also mean he is a person of innumerable facets.

Usually regarded as being very popular, but also being very unpredictable.

Hi Kitosdad,

Thank you very much for your help. My answer for Hedonist was not that useful as the information added by you.

Regards,

Yuri
