In the face of multibyte character sets such as UTF-8, I wouldn’t use “char” to mean
“byte” (even if, in practice, the most common use will be strings of 1-byte chars).
“Alphabet” or “string” might be ambiguous (is it an alphabet of bytes or an alphabet of
characters?), but at least they are not contradictory.
