There is no such thing.  sizeof(char) =3D=3D 1 by definition.
Your confusion probably comes from not understanding that "byte"
has a long history without any reference to a fixed number of bits.

[Leon]  more like from some people saying that modern compilers can =
treat integers as 32 bit vairables (not 16 bit - thus the value of int =
could go up to 70000 etc.) - so was thinking that may be similar "bit =
expansion" could occur to char data types.
