-``char``
-========
-
-The ``char`` type stores a 1-byte character value (or integer with
-value from -128 to 127). Character literals are written in single
-quotes, like this: ``'A'`` (for multiple characters - strings - use
-double quotes: ``"ABC"``).
-
-
-Just like everything else on a computer, characters are stored as
-numbers. You can see the specific encoding in the `ASCII chart
-<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII#ASCII_printable_characters>`_\
-. This means that it is possible to do arithmetic on characters, in
-which the ASCII value of the character is used (e.g. ``'A' + 1`` has the
-decimal value 66, since the ASCII value of the capital letter A in
-decimal is 65). See the :ref:`Serial.println()
-<lang-serial-println>` documentation for more information about how
-characters are converted into numbers.
-
-The ``char`` datatype is a signed type, meaning that it encodes
-numbers from -128 to 127. For an unsigned type, which stores values
-from 0 to 255, just use the type ``unsigned char`` (two words).
-
-
-Example
--------
-
-::
-
- // the following two lines are equivalent, using the ASCII
- // character encoding:
- char c = 'A';
- char c = 65;
