Definately not.  The data type of a character is "char", the data type
of a character string literal is "const char *".  For printable
characters, signedness does not matter.  The standard leaves it open
whether the data type "char" is signed or unsigned (and for GCC, you
can decide yourself using -fsigned-char or -funsigned-char).
