How do I split a string into a List of chars in F sharp

Question

How do I split string into a list of chars in F sharp for example if I want to split the word "Hello" into a list of chars ie.

"Hello" ->['H';'e';'l';'l';'o'] 

I have tried Split([| |]) but it only splits a string depending on the parameter u pass in.

I have tried this to but it still did not work

let splitChar (text:string) =      [for c in text ->c]   let splitChar (text:string) =      [for c in text do yield c]

You can use Seq.toList to convert a string to a list of characters:

Seq.toList "Hello"
