How do handle byte operations in C like *x++ on a PDP

I'm only passingly familiar with fORTRAN on the PDP-10, not C. But the
tapes that I've worked with packed 5-7 bit characters into a word with a
bit left over. In C, does an int have to be an exact number of chars long?
But, for that matter, how do you handle byte operations if they're not 6
bit/12 bit on a CDC 6600 in c? (60 bit words).
