Is there a way to have an array of multiple types in c#, including other arrays? Apparently I can do this:
object[] x = {1,"G",2.3, 2,'H'};
but not this:
object[] x = {1,"G",2.3, 2,'H', {2} };
What's the proper way to do it?

Problem is that that you cannot initialize the inner array this way. The array initalizer can only be used in a variable or field initializer. As your error states:
Array initializer can only be used in a variable or field initializer. Try using a new expression insead
You must explicitly initialize the nested arrays. Do it this way and it works:
object[] x = { 1, "G", 2.3, 2, 'H', new int[]{ 2 } };
// Or a bit cleaner
object[] x = { 1, "G", 2.3, 2, 'H', new []{ 2 } };

Your syntax would work if you'd define a 2 dimensional array:
object[,] x = { {"3"}, { 1 }, { 2 } };

object[] x = {1,"G",2.3, 2,'H', {2} }; was wrong and u can use
object[] x = { 1, "G", 2.3, 2, 'H', new int[]{ 2 } };
