NUL is a character. It's not there only to support C strings but rather predates C. In principle it's possible to have ASCII and Unicode strings with NULs in the middle.
Now, in practice and because of C, strings with NULs in the middle are a hazard -- a security hazard. And because of that one could forgive a SQL RDBMS doing as you say, but it would not meet the SQL standard.
