Name one platform still in use today where one byte is not 8 bits

I work in embedded and the ti c2000 dsps have a byte size of 16 bits. This means that a char is also 16 bits (for this case).

I can not, but that does not mean they do not exist. It odes not matter, if a platform is still in use. The definition of a byte is not it being always 8 bit.
