An ansistring uses 8 bit characters, while a widestring uses
16-bit characters. A widestring is normally UCS-2 or UTF-16 encoded.
Assignments to and from ansistrings convert to and from the system code
page, i.e. if the system uses an ISO-8859-1 encoding, converting
ansistrings from/to widestring converts to/from ISO-8859-1.
Further, there is utfencode and utf8decode, which convert an utf-8
encoded ansistring to/from a widestring.
