In the international standard ASCII encoding, each character needs 7 bits of storage; however, in an ASCII string one byte (8 bits) is usually used for each character. Explain why this is done?

To explain it, I understand that char needs 7bits and string needs 8bits, but I don’t know how to explain why. Thanks.
