Multi byte strings are also AnsiStrings. Most major Asian countries 
including Japan, China, Taiwan and Korean use multi byte encoding. Shift 
JIS/932 is a multi byte encoding. Delphi's AnsiString can contains these 
string just like English, Finnish and Russian.

My point is that whenever there is an AnsiString in Delphi you need to know 
what is the code page that the string uses. Otherwise you might end up 
interpreting the string incorrectly.

You were right about byte and bit. I ment bit but wrote byte.
