+<p><xref href="GUID-317497AE-D70D-3FD5-9865-6446FF4AD035.dita"><apiname>TText</apiname></xref> represents a character in the natural character
+width for the Symbian platform build. For Unicode builds, (i.e. from v5.1
+onwards) this is 16 bits. For non-Unicode builds, this is 8 bits. </p>
+<p><xref href="GUID-0DC8E9A8-8B5A-3566-B1C5-27B6E4F47F3C.dita"><apiname>TText8</apiname></xref> is always available for build-independent 8-bit

+<p>The <xref href="GUID-CDCFA2A5-EA8A-3B39-B90F-77AC41571E2D.dita"><apiname>TChar</apiname></xref> class wraps a character value and provides

+such as converting the character to uppercase and testing whether it’s a control
+character.</p>
