string is a simple array as well just with immutable(char) as elements.
It is just an alias:
alias string = immutable(char)[];

I understand how auto decoding can be bad but I doubt you need to
process a char. char is a UTF-8 code unit, likely one of multiple bytes
that represent a Unicode character; an information encoding byte, not
the information. That code unit includes encoding bits that tell the
decoder whether it is the first character or a continuation character.
Not many programmer will ever need to write code to decode UTF-8.
