1 byte = 8 bits.

Computers only know two things. On (1) and off (0). This is known as binary. Computers use an 8bit binary system (00000000).

The American Standrad Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) is an international code that notices that an 8bit character ASCI covers everything that you can type on a keyboard.

Therefore a 1byte letter is A to Z.
