Thanks.

Hi,

_T is not relevant to C++, but to Windows programming.

In D, there is only Unicode. The language doesn't manipulate 
strings encoded in Windows local code-pages.

char means UTF-8 (Unicode encoded in 8bit units).
wchar means UTF-16 (Unicode encoded in 16bit units, what Windows 
documentation calls "Unicode").
dchar means UTF-32 (Unicode encoded in 32bit units).

When manipulating data encoded in Windows local code page, use 
the ubyte[] type.
