Anyways, set aa to none, and type your text as usual. After you're done you should be able to scale it to any size without loosing that 'pixel' look.
That is if by characters you meant letters.
If you meant characters as in people, try drawing them with the pencil tool other than a brush because brushes sometimes have soft edges that would go blurry when scaled. I just drew a test character with the pencil tool and scaled it 4x its original size and it still retained the pixel-ness.

When you're in photoshop go to 'Edit » Preferences » General' and where it says "Image Interpolation" in the drop down menu change it to "Nearest Neighbor (faster)".
This is for PSCS so it may be different for any other version you may be using. That will do what you're talking about though since I had this same problem before.
Hope I helped

I cant remember how I did it miself thou, or if I even did because my test character (as I mentioned up there) was a square pixel face with square eyes, so when I scaled it I didnt notice a blur, but trying out different pixel people and such I now see the blur.
Anyways thanks for the tip sq3r now we all know.
