### Describe the bug A regression was introduced in DataFusion 43.0.0 that impacts the casting of arguments to UTF8 for various Scalar UDFs. Sail's tests uncovered several of these regressions, which required explicit casting in multiple areas as a workaround during the upgrade to DataFusion 43.0.0. The regressions identified by Sail's tests include the following functions: 1. `ascii` 2. `bit_length` 3. `contains` 4. `ends_with` 5. `starts_with` 6. `octet_length` Scope of Work: - Address the regressions. - Port relevant tests from Sail to cover these issues. ### To Reproduce _No response_ ### Expected behavior _No response_ ### Additional context https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/14008#issuecomment-2599492511 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
