Also from the Standard:
3.5
[#1] character
bit representation that fits in a byte
6.5.3.4 The sizeof operator
...
[#2] The sizeof operator yields the size (in bytes) of its
operand, which may be an expression or the parenthesized
name of a type. The size is determined from the type of the
operand. The result is an integer. If the type of the
operand is a variable length array type, the operand is
evaluated; otherwise, the operand is not evaluated and the
result is an integer constant.
The word "byte" appears dozens of times in the Standard, not counting
its appearance in the word "multibyte".

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
