I know how to put the decimal and hex equivalent of the character
under the cursor in the statusline:
set statusline+=%b " decimal byte '98'
set statusline+=\x%02B " hex byte 'x62'
How to put the character itself in the statusline?

maybe (untested)
set stl+=%{substitute(getline('.'),\ '^.*\\(\\%'\ .\ virtcol('.')\ .\
'v.\\).*$',\ '\\1',\ '')}
with two single quotes (not just one double quote, and if you want two
double quotes they must be backslash-escaped) before the last closing
parenthesis.
or (maybe more readable)
let &stl .= '%{substitute(getline("."), ''^.*\(\%'' . virtcol(".") .
''v.\).*$'', ''\1'', "")}'
(here we must beware that to include a single quote in a single-quoted
string we must double it)
see
:help option-backslash
for the backslash-escaping in the operand of :set
:help 'statusline'
for %{ and }
:help expr-'
about the need for doubling ' inside a 'string'
and also
:help substitute()
:help getline()
:help pattern-atoms
:help :let-option
