title: Are int8_t and uint8_t intended to be char types?
body: <p>Given this C++11 program, should I expect to see a number or a letter?  Or not make expectations?</p>
  
  <pre><code>#include &lt;cstdint&gt;
  #include &lt;iostream&gt;
  
  int main()
  {
      int8_t i = 65;
      std::cout &lt;&lt; i;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does the standard specify whether this type can or will be a character type?</p>
