More likely it's not actually 8-bit characters (I don't think anyonewrites 7-bit software these days), but Unicode characters, which(depending on the encoding) may be 8, 16, 24, 32 or more bits long.
Since XML (not directly relevant here, but it mandates Unicode) becamethe default format for inter-systems data transfer, pretty mucheverything and anything new or revised probably ought to be done in aUnicode-compliant manner.
