The Development of the C Language (1993)
If I remember correctly, it assumes the size of a char is greater than or equal to seven bits, and a char is defined to be the smallest addressable unit.
C does not support bit-addressing.

The width is defined as CHAR_BIT >= 8 (C11 5.2.4.2.1p1). The size, sizeof (char), is always 1.
