One bit is either a zero - 0, or a one - 1. Eight bits equal one byte. And one character is exactly one BYTE. So the letter A must be converted to a specific, universally recognized number (called ASCII) and then translated to binary code - 0s and 1s. So one 8-bit code equals one character.

The term "bit" implies a binary (base-2) system. So there would be 28

different combinations, or 256. These would typically be listed in the pattern:
00000000
00000001
00000010
00000011
00000100
00000101
00000110
00000111
00001000
...
11111100
11111101
11111110
11111111

Strictly speaking, it is a byte (or octet, for purists). In C-programming a 'char' is indeed a byte, but that isn't true in every languages (eg Java).
