So by "character mutation" you mean the deletion of characters? Because to my ears that term still sounds like bit flips, i.e. changing characters.

What if my random edit is to add a character?

Possible -- depends on the rules of the specific challenge. Most of the time it's edits, deletes, or some combination. Sometimes the score depends on how many edits your code can withstand.
