Character-level embeddings in python

I'm working on an NLP task that requires the use of character level embeddings, and I've been trying to use Spacy. However, it seems that spacy uses word-level embeddings for the word vectors, and I need character-level embeddings. The only character-level embedding library I've been able to find is chars2vec which does not seem well maintained. Is there a way to get character-level embeddings with either spacy or a more popular package than chars2vec?

No - There is no way to get character level embeddings for SpaCy.

One option for character level embeddings is the flair package which implements Contextual String Embeddings for Sequence Labeling.
