 Every integer type has an \term{integer conversion rank} defined as follows:
 
 \begin{itemize}
-\item No two signed integer types other than \keyword{char} and \tcode{\keyword{signed}
-\keyword{char}} (if \keyword{char} is signed) have the same rank, even if they have
-the same representation.
+\item No two signed integer types have the same rank,
+even if they have the same representation.
 
 \item The rank of a signed integer type is greater than the rank
 of any signed integer type with a smaller width.
