I suppose a variable of the type "String" is pre-loaded with the

If you mean "AnsiString" then it is loaded with encoding 0 which means
default system codepage. It will get the real encoding number after
the first assignment.
I understand that some day (when the official release comes up) "String"
will be a new String type and thus ANSIString obsolete and just an alias.
So target encoding ID "0" means that " := " will preserve the encoding
of the source and set the target appropriately without doing a conversion.
Any other encoding ID will be unmodified in the target and a conversion
will be done if appropriate. (supposedly no conversion when the target's
encoding ID is "Raw").
Seems clever but not easy stuff to understand. :)
