You're right, of course. Any of them is a character type if and
only if it's a typedef for char, unsigned char, or signed char.
(On most implementations, they aren't.)
One might reach the conclusion that the standard's definition of the
phrase "character type" is confusing and misleading. Presumably the
term was defined before wchar_t and friends were added to the language,
and not updated.
