Talk:Character and string types

Doesn't ANSIChar contain an ANSI character instead of ASCII? I.e. it is codepage dependent but can contain byte values 0..255?

This is the information of the official FPC documentation. I will do additional research.

Yes, I suspect the official FPC documentation is wrong/incomplete ;)

BTW: thanks for writing this page - it's very helpful!

Thanks for your positive feedback. In fact, it is ANSI. Although the official Free Pascal documentation states that a char contains an ASCII character, is is stored as a byte to use extended ASCII or ANSI.
