This is impossible to answer. Different people will have different ideas about what plays are famous and what are not, usually on the basis of what plays they studied in school, and they only know the characters in the plays they know.
One of the most famous characters in Shakespeare is Falstaff. He was so popular that Shakespeare was obliged to write a sequel play about him. But since the Henry IV plays and Merry Wives of Windsor are not on most school curricula, many people whose knowledge of Shakespeare is limited to what they studied in school have not heard of him.
Probably another of Shakespeare's most famous characters is Hamlet, the title character in the play of the same name. Not only have a lot of people studied him in school, but he is every actor's dream role which might explain why this is the most performed and studied play of all of Shakespeare's work.
But who could be a third famous character? The plays are full of wonderful characters, but what makes them famous?

∙ 9y agoAll of Shakespeare's plays have at least one female character. In many of the comedies, the main character is female (Rosalind in As You Like It, Isabella in Measure for Measure, Helena in All's Well that Ends Well, both Mrs. Ford and Mrs. Page in The Merry Wives of Windsor, Viola in Twelfth Night), and many plays feature male-female couples as the main characters, both comedies (Kate with Petruchio in Taming of the Shrew, Beatrice with Benedick in Much Ado) and tragedies (Juliet, Cleopatra, Cressida). In many plays, female characters play a strong supporting role (Lady Macbeth in Macbeth, all of Lear's daughters in King Lear, Portia in Merchant of Venice, Volumnia in Coriolanus, Mrs. Quickly in the Henry IV plays, Queen Margaret in the Henry VI plays, Hermia and Helena in Midsummer Night's Dream, Silvia and Julia in Two Gents of Verona, Queen Elizabeth in Richard III, Constance in King John, Queen Katharine and Anne Bullen in Henry VIII). Plays in which female characters play no significant role include Julius Caesar, Timon of Athens and Henry V.
