Matrix invariants for simultaneous conjugation by a finite subgroup of $\textrm{GL}_n$

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic 0, and consider $d$ generic $n\times n$ matrices $X_1,\ldots,X_d$ where $X_k = (x_{ijk})_{ij}$ and $ K[x_{ijk}]$ is the polynomial algebra in $n^2 \cdot d$ ...

The character table of the symmetric group modulo m

Let $S_n$ be the symmetric group and $M_n$ the character table of $S_n$ as a matrix (in some order) for $n \geq 2$. Question: Is it true that the rank of $M_n$ as a matrix modulo $m$ for $m \geq 2$ ...
