Incidentally,

        (mapcar 'string-to-char '("n" "i" "l")) => (110 105 108)

Probably your references are not right.  E.g. in Org-8.2 this file would
produce your observed result.

#+tblname: tab2

| 1 | a | 3 |
| 2 | b | 4 |
| 3 | c | 6 |
| 4 | d | 7 |


#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :var c0=tab2[,0] :var c2=tab2[,2]
  (cl-mapcar 'list c0 c2)
#+END_SRC
