On modern architectures this type will always be either [`i8`] or [`u8`], as they use byte-addressed memory with 8-bit bytes. C chars are most commonly used to make C strings. Unlike Rust, where the length of a string is included alongside the string, C strings mark the end of a string with the character `'\0'`. See `CStr` for more information.
