You can do a simple test yourself to confirm that it does not cause an error:
SQL> CREATE TABLE your_table
  2    (test_column CHAR (1))
  3  /
Table created.
SQL> INSERT INTO your_table (test_column)
  2  VALUES ('A')
  3  /
1 row created.
SQL> SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
SQL> DECLARE
  2    v_test VARCHAR2 (2);
  3  BEGIN
  4    SELECT test_column
  5    INTO   v_test
  6    FROM   your_table;
  7    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (v_test);
  8  END;
  9  /
A                                                          
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
