Binary into char

/prog/,

I have traveled far and wide to seek your wisdom. I'm currently writing a program in assembly that involves some bit manipulation. Basically what I need to do figure out is how to store binary data into a char (8 bits). For example, how would I store 0000 0001 into a char variable?

Thank you kind /prog/

You can't be serious.

1: You didn't say you were using assembly.
2: That it doesn't have data types is the first fucking thing you learn when you open the book.
3: Get the fuck out, I feel bad for helping you.
