An ASCII character requires one byte of storage.
A Unicode character requires between one and four bytes of storage, depending on the encoding format used.
8 digits of binary code (either 0s or 1s) for instance 00101001 each digit takes up one bit, there are 8 bits in a byte. Usually, a byte holds 1 character, either a letter or #
why the letter A would take up one byte storage space

A byte is the smallest unit of storage. Mostly anything you do can take up a byte.
If you meant "Byte" then the answer is one.
byte
The official unit of data is the byte. A byte is made of 8 bits and is the amount of computer storage space needed to store one character of information.
A sentence is known as a string in computing, and strings normally take up several bytes of storage.
The letter "a" takes up one byte of storage space because it is represented using the ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) encoding system, which assigns a unique integer value to each character. In ASCII, the letter "a" corresponds to the decimal value 97, which fits within a single byte (8 bits). This allows for 256 possible values in a byte, accommodating all standard ASCII characters, including letters, digits, and punctuation. Therefore, storing the letter "a" requires just one byte.
8 bits is one byte. you need one byte for a character

1 Byte and 1 Byte = 8 bits
