This note is concerned with a translation of some concepts and results about characteristic subgroups of a group into the language of categories. As an example, consider strictly characteristic and hypercharacteristic subgroups of a group: the subgroup H of the group G is called strictly characteristic in G if it admits all ependomorphisms of G; that is all homomorphic mappings of G onto G; and H is called hypercharacteristic2 in G if it is the least normal subgroup with factor group isomorphic to G/H, that is if H is contained in every normal subgroup K of G with G/K ≅ G/H.
