Check out the TI C2000 / TMS320 architecture. I've written a lot of C++ with 16-bit chars on that architecture over the past few years. Yes, it's a bit of a brain-dead architecture, but there are definitely archs with non 8 bit chars around still.

At least that's a multiple of 8. Are there any 9/18/36-bit bytes around these days? I hope not :}
