From (-215) to (215 -1). In decimal -32768 to 32767.
A 16-bit integer can represent 65,536 distinct values, ranging from -32,768 to 32,767 for signed integers or from 0 to 65,535 for unsigned integers. Each character typically requires one byte (8 bits) in encoding schemes like ASCII. Therefore, a 16-bit integer can store up to 2 characters when using standard ASCII encoding, as 16 bits can hold 2 bytes.
Integer data types are typically represented using binary notation, where each integer is converted into a series of bits (0s and 1s). Common representations include signed integers, which can represent both positive and negative values using methods like two's complement, and unsigned integers, which represent only non-negative values. The size of the integer type, such as 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit, or 64-bit, determines the range of values that can be stored. In programming languages, these types are often defined using specific keywords, such as int, long, or short.
In most programming languages, there are typically several types of integer data types, which can include signed and unsigned variations. Common types include 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit, and 64-bit integers, which differ in the range of values they can represent. Additionally, some languages may offer specific integer types like short, int, long, and long long, each with different storage sizes and value ranges. The exact types available can vary by language and platform.

A 5-bit binary counter, interpreted as an unsigned integer, has a range of 0 to 31. Interpreted as a two's complement signed integer, it has a range of -16 to +15.
Consult your limits.h and math.h. For char it will be -128..127 or 0.255 (signed and unsigned).

For an unsigned integer, that would be 216-1. For a signed integer in 2's complement notation, the largest number would be 215-1.
A signed 16 bit number can represent the decimal numbers -32768 to 32767.

With a signed integer, the top bit is used to hold the sign of the number, so that the range of numbers that can be held is -(2number_of_bits-1) to 2number_of_bits-1 -1, whereas with an unsigned integer, all the bits are used to store the number which will always be positive and so the range is 0 to 2number_of_bits -1. For example, with 16 bits, a signed integer has the range -(215) to 215 -1 = -32768 to 32767 whereas an unsigned integer has the range 0 to 216 -1 = 0 to 65535. The point in particular to note is how the numbers (bit patterns) with the top bit set are interpreted: with unsigned ints they are greater than those without the top bit set (eg 0xffff = 65535 > 0x7fff = 32767), but with signed ints they are less (eg 0xffff = -1 < 0x7fff = 32767). I'm not sure about the significance of declaring a constant as unsigned (having never used one), but at a guess I would say it's to tell the compiler that the bit pattern is an unsigned bit pattern and to throw up a warning (or error) if it's used with a signed bit pattern, eg if used in a comparison with a signed int - ie an aid to cutting down on bugs by ensuring that things are only used for their intended purpose.
