A character constant is treated as an integer whose value is the character’s 8-bit ASCII code. There-fore, character constants have type word1. C--uses C’s escape sequences to denote special charac-ters, such as \nfor the new line and \tfor the tabulator. For example, character constant ’H’is a word1with value 72.
