bug#47702: wc man page: first you are talking about bytes, then you are

Man wc says

       Print newline, word, and byte counts for each FILE, and a total line if
       more than one FILE is specified.  A word is a non-zero-length  sequence
       of characters delimited by white space.

first you are talking about bytes, then you are talking about
characters.

So for the latter, please say
characters (not bytes)
or
characters (same as bytes)
or just
bytes
Yes, even if explained in the INFO file.
Thanks.
