C is a very old language and that time 1 byte was thought to be sufficient to define any character. That's why the primary C standard defines character with 1 Byte. 1 Byte can store only 256 characters. This includes Engish letters (both captital and small), digits and some special sysmbols. But at the time of invention of Java, extended character set or Unicode was created (approximately in 1987) to be compatible for future extension.
