C still (I think, C23 may have finally killed support*) supports architectures like clearpath mainframes which have a 36 bit word, 9 bit byte, 36 (IIRC) bit data pointer and a 81 bit function pointer. The changes to the arithmetic rules mean you can't have sign-magnitude or 1s complement anymore IIRC
