5	+	A [[Data field\|data field]] of the data type UnicodeString has no size restriction and consists internally of an array of the [[Unicodechar\|UniCodeChar]] data type.
6	+
7	+	The functions of the LazUtf8 unit are required for problem-free type conversion from [[Ansistring\|AnsiString]] to UnicodeString and from UnicodeString to AnsiString.
8	+
9	+	Unicode strings are used to display strings from the Unicode character set. Unicode strings are implemented in the same way as AnsiStrings and can be cast (converted) to the [[Punicodechar\|PUnicodeChar]] data type.
10	+
11	+	Definition of a data field of data type UnicodeString:
12	+
13	+	``` pascal
14	+	var
15	+	u : UnicodeString;

19	+	The examples below apply to the Windows operating system!
20	+
21	+	Examples for the valid assignment of [[Ansistring\|AnsiString]] to [[Widestring\|WideString]]:
22	+
23	+	``` pascal
24	+	u := UTF8ToUTF16('0123ABCabc456AöU!, .-');
25	+	u := u + UTF8ToUTF16(IntToString(45));
26	+	```
27	+
28	+	Example of the valid assignment of [[Widestring\|WideString]] to [[Ansistring\|AnsiString]]:
29	+
30	+	``` pascal
31	+	a := UTF16ToUTF8(u);
