You do not have to say that from code. You activate a buffer and do an
M-: comment-start RET, and look at the result in the echo area. Repeat
with a different mode.

Alternatively, you read Emacs sources, see that many but not all modes
set comment-start with a trailing space.

Since you’re using string-to-char which is documented to return only
the first character of the input string, it does not matter if you
trim the original string beforehand.
