Long long time ago a character was only one byte. Now (unicode) a character is 2 or 4 bytes, but usually we use a variable-length encoding called utf-8.

1 byte consists of 8 bits. These bits store binary (1 & 0). It depends on what characters you are refering to though, since the question is unclear.

4.3 bytes or chromatically speaking 4.6. Either way works.
