Why doesn't C have unsigned floats?

The question is probably very basic and probably answered many time earlier, but I want to understand why C++ does not have unsigned floating point types, even though floating point literals can be signed or unsigned.

$3.9.1/8- "There are three floating point types: float, double, and long double."
