## 9.10 AnsiChar

### Synopsis

    type
      AnsiChar = Char;

### Description

``AnsiChar'` is an 8 bit char type. Currently, it is the same as ``Char'`, but this might change in the future, once ``wide chars'` (16 bit chars) will be introduced into GPC. Depending on the platform, ``Char'` might be either ``AnsiChar'` or ``WideChar'` then.

### Conforming to

``AnsiChar'` is a Borland Delphi extension.

### Example

    program AnsiCharDemo;
    var
      A: AnsiChar;  { There is nothing special with `AnsiChar'. }
      B: Char;
    begin
      A := 'A';
      A := B
    end.
