It sounds like what's happening is that the Character Palette Server is attempting to launch but immediately crashing. Subsequent attempts to re-launch it are also failing because it immediately crashes.
The preference file that's associated with the Character Palette is (where '~' stands for your short username):
/Users/~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.CharPaletteServer.plist
You might try moving that file to the Desktop to disable it and then try relaunching the Character Palette.
If that doesn't seem to work, look for a "crash.log" file in the /Users/~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/ folder, probably with a name of CharacterPaletteServer.crash.log (not certain, as I don't have one on my machine.) Anyway, double-click that to open it in the Console application and post the contents of it here (just for the most recent crash) in another post, and I'll see if I can make any sense of it.
Hope this helps...
