Evidently by "the" language standard you mean C89, the old one. These
sections are 3.5 through 3.7 in C99, the latest version of the standard.
Familarity with the C Standard will reveal that the Standard really uses
the terms "byte," "character" (single-byte, anyway), and "char"
interchangeably. It's in fact so pervasive that it wouldn't even be
feasible to list all the instances in the Standard where the lack of a
distinction is clearly implied. J3.4 (G3.4 in C89) is a good place to
start, in spite of being informative, not normative.
Seriously, search through the standard for instances of the word "byte."
