Stings in SHIP are a sequence of UTF8 characters terminated in an implicit end-of-string character.


Data Type	Description
String	A sequence of UTF8 characters terminated in an implicit end-of-string character.

String constants are written in Sail Scripts enclosed in double quotes ("), for example

 text.value = "hello";

and can be concatenated with the "+" operator, for example

 text.value = "hello" + " " + "there";

Within Sail Scripts you can access the Unicode codepoints within a string, access portions of the string, and more using the Sail String Functions.
