Any primitive smaller than byte?

843785Jul 15 2008 — edited Dec 31 2008
I have a base10 number that will be no larger than 15 and no smaller than 1, which means I do not need an entire byte to fill this number as it is 4 wasted bits and I need no leading sign bit either. I am curious if there is any primitive smaller than a byte that I could use?

Any help is much appreciated.
