Char Data Type Variables

Question

I am studying a book called Learn C on Mac. It defines char data type as 1 byte data type. Does this mean that a variable with char data type can NOT contain an integer, such as 5000? I am confused by this. The book has an example program that assigns a variable to a data type as char, with 5000 in the variable. Actually it is a line 5000 long. Example: (char rating [5000];). I thought a char can only contain ascii set or a numeric value? Sorry, I'm pretty new to programming.
