Field size
The amount of characters that can be stored in each text field is commonly referred to as the "character limit." This limit defines the maximum number of characters, including letters, numbers, and special symbols, that can be entered into that field. Character limits are often set to ensure data integrity and manage storage efficiently.
Field size defines the maximum number of characters or numbers that a particular field can hold
The data type that can contain any characters in a field is typically referred to as a "string" or "text" data type. Strings can include letters, numbers, symbols, and whitespace, making them versatile for storing various types of textual data. In many programming languages and databases, this data type is often implemented as "VARCHAR," "TEXT," or "STRING."
A text field can hold both numbers and text. Sometimes they are referred to as alphanumeric fields.
text
A text field can contain both numbers and text, so that is what you would use.

The field can contain any characters. A maximum number of 255 characters is allowed in a field whose data type is Text.

They are, respectively, the multiplicative and additive identities for the field of numbers.
This is true in any database (Access, Oracle). A number field is technically called a "NUMERIC" field. Only numbers can be inserted into a field that has this designator. A text field is for characters or numbers. It can be a "CHAR" (character), a VARCHAR (characters or numbers). It's basically a way of putting rules on columns--what type of data belongs there.
