Statement

A characteristic subgroup of a group need not be a fully characteristic subgroup.

Example

Further information: Center not is fully characteristic

The center of any group is always a characteristic subgroup. Hence, to construct an example of a characteristic subgroup that is not fully characteristic, it suffices to construct an example where the center is not fully characteristic. Such an example is to be found here.
