C++ char is guaranteed to use exactly 1 byte of memory and it stores a single [[ASCII]] character, although storage of a part of the multipart character is also possible under specific conditions.

Character constant must use single quotes and it is considered to be enumerable (thus you can use characters in constructs like '''switch''').

==Other C++ datatypes of the same size==
* [[signed char]]
* [[unsigned char]]

==Other C++ data types storing symbols==
* [[char16_t]] no less than 16 bits, no less than char
* [[char32_t]] no less than 32 bits, no less than char16_t
* [[wchar_t]] whatever the largest block of addressable memory happens to be on the system
