right, a string function, returns the specified number of characters from the rightmost part of the character or binary expression.
If the specified rightmost part begins with the second surrogate of a pair (the low surrogate), the return value starts with the next full character. Therefore, one less character is returned.
The return value has the same datatype as the character or binary expression.
If expression is NULL, right returns NULL.
