Char.
The char type is a predefined ordinal type that is used to represent
individual characters in the 8-bit ASCII character set. A char literal

(#) followed by a number or letter.

Enumerated.
An enumerated type is a user-defined, ordinal type that defines an
ordered set of values by the enumeration of identifiers in parentheses.
The sequence in which the identifiers appear determines the ordering.
The enumerated identifiers are defined as constants. The ORD of the
first has the value zero, and the ORD of the others have successive
integer values in order of their specification. The limit on the maximum
number of identifiers in an enumerated type is implementation dependent.
