+
+unsigned char
+=============
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+An unsigned version of the :ref:`char <lang-char>` data type. An
+``unsigned char`` occupies 1 byte of memory; it stores an integer from
+0 to 255.
+
+Like an :ref:`unsigned int <lang-unsignedint>`, an ``unsigned char``
+won't store negative numbers; it is also subject to the same
+:ref:`overflow issues <lang-int-overflow>` as any integral data type.
+
+Example
+-------
+
+::
+
+ unsigned char c = 240;
