Looked that up:

"It's fundamental to correct usage of functions such as malloc and fread
 that sizeof(char) be exactly one. In practise, this means that byte in
 C terms is the smallest unit of storage, even if this unit is 36 bits
 wide; and all objects are composed of an integer number of these
 smallest units."
