Hello,
I'm extremely new to D and have a quick question regarding common
practice when using strings. Is usage of one type over the others
encouraged? When using 'string' it appears there is a length mismatch
between the string length and the char array if large Unicode characters
are used. So I figured I'd ask.
Thanks in advance,

D's strings are Unicode.
Unicode has three main variants, UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32.
The size of a code point is 1, 2 or 4 bytes.
But here is the thing, what is displayed (a character) could be multiple
code points and these can be combined to form a grapheme.
So yes, there will be length mismatches between them :)
