<< Certain object representations need not represent a value of the
object type. If the stored value of the object has such a
representation and is read by an lvalue expression that does not
have character type, the behavior is undefined. If such a
representation is produced by a side effect thaty modifies all or
any part of the object by an lvalue expression that does not have
character type, the behavior is undefined. Such a representation is
called a trap represetation.

You seem to be assuming that of necessity a char object can contain only
valid representations. This is definitely not true on all implementations.
