Constant.Type: String or Text ?

General
1

In a project:

Add a new Module,
Add a new Constant,
Type a Constant Name,
Type a Default value,
Choose a Type.

What is the difference between String and Text ?

BTW: the new framework is not implicated in the question.

Strings are stored as a series of bytes and an encoding (UTF-8) to interpret the bytes so they can be converted to text for human consumption. Text is stored as a series of Unicode code points.

3

Does that mean that all text characters occupy the same number of bytes?

4

I suppose it could, but that’s an internal implementation detail that you never have to worry about.

Think of Text as an array of integer (code points).

5

And this is not related to the new framework ?

6

Well, I suppose it is. Does that matter?

To understand (or to try to understand…).

Thank you for the answers.
