It's a common extension that many compilers allow.  A multicharacter
constant such as 'ABC' has a value of some integer type, and
represents a machine word with the characters in it in some
appropriate ordering.

The ANS, if I remember aright, allows compilers to accept
multicharacter constants but leaves their type and value to be
implementation-defined.
