How Strings Work
A string in Go is a read-only slice of bytes. A string can hold arbitrary bytes, it is not required to hold unicode/UTF-8/other format. That means that "characters" are not special types in Go; rather, strings refer to bytes.
Indexing a string does not access characters - it accesses the individual bytes. So, when you store a character value in a string, you are storing the byte representation of that character at that point in time.
