A string is a sequential collection of characters that is used to represent text. A <xref:System.String> object is a sequential collection of <xref:System.Char?displayProperty=nameWithType> objects that represent a string; a <xref:System.Char?displayProperty=nameWithType> object corresponds to a UTF-16 code unit. The value of the <xref:System.String> object is the content of the sequential collection of <xref:System.Char?displayProperty=nameWithType> objects, and that value is immutable (that is, it is read-only). For more information about the immutability of strings, see the [Immutability and the StringBuilder class](#Immutability) section later in this topic. The maximum size of a <xref:System.String> object in memory is 2GB, or about 1 billion characters.

Consecutive index values might not correspond to consecutive Unicode characters, because a Unicode character might be encoded as more than one <xref:System.Char> object. In particular, a string may contain multi-character units of text that are formed by a base character followed by one or more combining characters or by surrogate pairs. To work with Unicode characters instead of <xref:System.Char> objects, use the <xref:System.Globalization.StringInfo?displayProperty=nameWithType> and <xref:System.Globalization.TextElementEnumerator> classes, or the <xref:System.String.EnumerateRunes%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> method and the <xref:System.Text.Rune> type. The following example illustrates the difference between code that works with <xref:System.Char> objects and code that works with Unicode characters. It compares the number of characters or text elements in each word of a sentence. The string includes two sequences of a base character followed by a combining character.

This example works with text elements by using the <xref:System.Globalization.StringInfo.GetTextElementEnumerator%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> method and the <xref:System.Globalization.TextElementEnumerator> class to enumerate all the text elements in a string. You can also retrieve an array that contains the starting index of each text element by calling the <xref:System.Globalization.StringInfo.ParseCombiningCharacters%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> method.
