8-bit character sets were not that new, although I agree they mostly post-date C. The Commodore micros since the 1970's used "PETSCII" with graphics characters in the upper half, and the IBM PC has since 1981 had its own character set with ASCII in the lower half, and a mixture of graphics and accented letters in upper (selection depending on the region).

Note that bunch of these was in wide use way before C was a thing.
