The byte-oriented characters are encoded in one or more 8 bit bytes. A typical single-byte encoding is ASCII [American Standard Code for Information Interchange] as used for western European languages like English. A typical multi-byte encoding which uses from one to three 8 bit bytes for each character is eucJP (extended Unix code - Japan, packed format) as used for Japanese workstations.
