The System.Text namespace provides
encoding and decoding capabilities for arrays of bytes and
characters. These classes allow you to convert characters easily from

UTF-16. Additionally, a string-building class allows you to modify
strings without creating intermediate string objects. Figure 40-1 shows the types in this namespace.
