The authors determine (using the computer algebra systems GAP and MAPLE) the values of the unipotent characters of the Chevalley groups \(D_ 4(q)\) where \(q\) is an odd prime power. The work is based on \textit{G. Lusztig}'s parametrization of characters [Characters of reductive groups over finite fields (Ann. Math. Stud. 107, 1984; Zbl 0556.20033)] of such groups and the work of B. Srinivasan on the Green functions for some classical groups. As an application to the modular representations of such groups the authors prove that the unique cuspidal unipotent character of \(D_ 4(q)\) remains irreducible as \(\ell\)-modular Brauer character for all primes \(\ell\) not dividing \(q\).
