 .. function:: ord(character, /)
 
-   The argument must be a one-character string or a :term:`bytes-like object`
-   of length 1.
+   The argument must be a one-character string or a :class:`bytes` or
+   :class:`bytearray` object of length 1.
    If it is a one-character string, return an integer
    representing the Unicode code point of that character.  For example,
    ``ord('a')`` returns the integer ``97`` and ``ord('€')`` (Euro sign)
    returns ``8364``.  This is the inverse of :func:`chr`.
 
-   If the argument is a bytes-like object of length 1, return an integer value
-   of its element.
+   If the argument is a :class:`!bytes` or :class:`!bytearray` object of
+   length 1, return an integer value of its element.
