    Synonyms:B,octet
    The word “hello” fits into fivebytes of ASCII code.
    • 1984, Neil Ardley, “The ZX Spectrum+ Memory Map”,Learn About Your ZX Spectrum+ (3), inSinclairZX Spectrum+ User Guide,Dorling Kindersley,→ISBN,page48:
      If you look at the photograph of the interior of the Spectrum […], you will see that there is one ROM chip, and 16 smaller RAM chips. These chips give the Spectrum its memory. The memory consists of 65536 storage units that each contain onebyte (a number from 0 to 255).
    • 2008, Eric Johnson, Joshua Jones,A Developer's Guide to Data Modeling for SQL Server:
      With a varchar, the storage is always the actual number of characters you have stored plus 2bytes. So a varchar(20) with a 5-character word will take up 7bytes, with the extra 2bytes holding a size reference for SQL Server.
