operations are supported as well.
\item {\bf UNICODE} In this release, wxString only supports {\it construction} from
a UNICODE string, but in the next one it will be capable of also storing its
internal data in either ASCII or UNICODE format.
\item {\bf Unicode} wxString is Unicode friendly: it allows to easily convert
to and from ANSI and Unicode strings in any build mode (see the
\helpref{Unicode overview}{unicode} for more details) and maps to either
{\tt string} or {\tt wstring} transparently depending on the current mode.
\item {\bf Used by wxWindows} And, of course, this class is used everywhere
inside wxWindows so there is no performance loss which would result from
conversions of objects of any other string class (including std::string) to
