Answer / kunal modi
Because c/c++ is based on the ASCII
And there is only 0 to 255 characters
And 1 byte is enough for represent
256 characters (2*power8=256)
Because c/c++ only support american
Characters
But in java its used the unicode because
It carry all character exist in world
And only 3100-3200 characters present in
World and 1 byte can only store 256
Characters that's why in java char take
2 byte and it can carry (2*power16=65536)
Characters

Answer / chandan singh
It is because C and C++ has limited set of characters. But java has all the character which are used in the whole world. like chineese language itself has 126 character. Every character has unique code and it is defined by Unicode system. Similarly java supports many many other characters but C and C++ don't.

Answer / chandan
Java was created around the time when the Unicode standard had values defined for a much smaller set of characters. Back then it was felt that 16-bits would be more than enough to encode all the characters that would ever be needed. With that in mind Java was designed to use UTF-16. In fact, the char data type was originally used to be able to represent a 16-bit Unicode code point.

Bcz of the JVM internally representing the character in
Hexadecimal system.That's why it is using 2 byte instead of
1 byte.
