interesting results from char

this first part I understand.

>> char [0xbb,0x36]
parse error:

  syntax error

>>> char [0xbb,0x36]
         ^

now for the correct way

>> char ([0xbb,0x36])
ans = �6
>>


now for the interesting results!

>> q= char x=[ 0xbb,0x36]
parse error:

  syntax error

>>> q= char x=[ 0xbb,0x36]
            ^
Ok this is definitely a syntax error


now the unusual result.

 char x=[ 0xbb,0x36]
ans = x=[ 0xbb,0x36]
>> q=ans
q = x=[ 0xbb,0x36]

So why when I try 
q= char x=[ 0xbb,0x36]
it is a syntax error  but
 char x=[ 0xbb,0x36]
is not a syntax error and the ans can be used as a string of "x=[ 0xbb,0x36]"


Just curious!
