That depends what encoding is used. One common (fairly old) encoding is ASCII; that one uses one byte for each character (letter, symbol, space, etc.). Some systems use 2 bytes per character. Many modern systems use Unicode; if the Unicode characters are stored as UTF-16 - a fairly common encoding scheme - many common characters will still use a single byte, while many special symbols (for example, accented characters) will take up two bytes.

The number of bits is simply the number of bytes multiplied by 8.
