--- Comment #4 from Alex Thurgood <iplaw67 at tuta.io> ---
In theory, it is supposed to be:

Char and Varchar: 32767 bytes
for encoding in single byte character encoding

according to :

http://www.firebirdfaq.org/faq61/

but then I seem to recall that we encode using 4 bytes per character because we
accept UTF-8, thereby reducing the total possible length of a VARCHAR field to
about 8K ?
