I have a simple question about string. Consider following code: <pre class="prettyprint"><code>Dim S1 as String = "abc" </code></pre> What is the encoding for S1? Is that UTF-8 or depending on user windows local setting?

<code>System.String</code> is documented to use UTF-16 internally.

What is the default encoding for a string under VB.NET?
