You all forget, Lelouch practly killed Charles in R2. The Code that was on Charles right hand was around his throat  before he became emperor. The entire Akito the Exiled clearly takes place between the two seasons even though this was planned later. But I also agree we should wait for the other episodes to see what happens. But the code could have been passed onto him after he and his mother were absorbed into C's world.
