T-SQL Split Word into characters

Question

I have searched everywhere and I cannot find this implementation anywhere.

Let's say I have the word: QWERTY

I want to obtain this table:

Q
W
E
R
T
Y

Or for QWERTY AnotherWord I want to obtain

Q
W
E
R
T
Y
[space character here]
A
n
o
t
h
e
r
W
o
r
d

Answer 1

Do it like this:

select substring(a.b, v.number+1, 1) 
from (select 'QWERTY AnotherWord' b) a
join master..spt_values v on v.number < len(a.b)
where v.type = 'P'

Answer 2

Declare @word nvarchar(max)
Select @word = 'Hello This is the test';

with cte (Number)as 
(Select 1
union all 
select Number +1 From cte  where number <len(@word)
)
select * from Cte Cross apply (Select SUBSTRING(@word,number,1 ) ) as J(Letter)
