====== Strings =====

===== Character Types =====

  * ''char''
  * ''signed char''
  * ''unsigned char''
  * ''wchar_t'' (16bit on Windows, 32bit virtually everywhere else)
  * ''char16_t'' (C++11)
  * ''char32_t'' (C++11) 

===== String Types =====

| std::string		| std::basic_string<char> 	| C++98 |
| std::wstring		| std::basic_string<wchar_t> 	| C++98 |
| std::u16string	| std::basic_string<char16_t> 	| C++11 |
| std::u32string 	| std::basic_string<char32_t> 	| C++11 |

===== Character Literals =====

  * \n, \nn, \nnn -- octal value
  * \xnn... -- hexadecimal value (''char'', ''wchar_t'', ''char16_t'', ''char32_t'')
  * \unnnn -- Unicode BMP code point (no surrogate pairs)
  * \Unnnnnnnn -- Unicode code point (may map to more than one code unit) 

===== String Literals =====

| ''""'' 	| ''const char[]'' 	|	| C++98 |
| ''L""'' 	| ''const wchar_t[]'' 	|	| C++98 |
| ''u8""'' 	| ''const char[]'' 	| UTF-8 	| C++11 |
| ''u""'' 	| ''const char16_t[]'' 	| UTF-16 	| C++11 |
| ''U""'' 	| ''const char32_t[]'' 	| UTF-32 	| C++11 |

Additionally, ''R"<delimiter>...<delimiter>"'' for "raw" literals.
