Deltics.Strings

The Strings unit provides support for common string operations in a manner that enables code to be written that will reliably migrate between different versions of Delphi regardless of whether the compiler assumes the native string type to be Unicode or ANSI.

The unit declares the following string and character types:

Type               as                    Versions (all if not specified)

UnicodeString     type WideString         Delphi 7 - 2007
    
ASCIIChar         type ANSIChar
UTF8Char          type ANSIChar
