18.1 Introduction

LispWorks uses Unicode (UCS-2 encoding) internally in its representation of character objects. All Unicode characters can be represented in strings, though 8-bit string types are also provided for efficiency when characters beyond the Latin-1 range are not needed. Character and string data can be input and output in various encodings (external formats).
