Let G be a connected reductive algebraic group over an algebraic closure of a finite field of characteristic p. Under the assumption that p is good for G, we prove that for each character sheaf A on G which has nonzero restriction to the unipotent variety of G, there exists a unipotent class CA canonically attached to A, such that A has non-zero restriction on CA, and any unipotent class C in G on which A has non-zero restriction has dimension strictly smaller than that of CA.
