Abstract: Let $q$ be a power of a prime $p$ and let $U(q)$ be a Sylow $p$-subgroup of a finite Chevalley group $G(q)$ defined over the field with $q$ elements. We first give a parametrization of the set $extIrr(U(q))$ of irreducible characters of $U(q)$ when $G(q)$ is of type $mathrm{G}_2$. This is uniform for primes $pge5$, while the bad primes $p=2$ and $p=3$ have to be considered separately. We then use this result and the contribution of several authors to show a general result, namely that if $G(q)$ is any finite Chevalley group with $p$ a bad prime, then there exists a character $chiinextIrr(U(q))$ such that $chi(1)=q^n/p$ for some $ninmathbb{Z}_{g{e}_0}$. In particular, for each $G(q)$ and every bad prime $p$, we construct a family of characters of such degree as inflation followed by an induction of linear characters of an abelian subquotient $V(q)$ of $U(q)$.
