For strings, just use `string`. :-) D strings are Unicode by default, no further effort is needed to use it. Individual characters are a bit more tricky. Usually you can just use dchar, but keep in mind that a dchar is not always the same thing as an on-screen character. The latter can sometimes be composed of multiple dchars; if for whatever reason you need to handle this distinction, you need to use std.uni.Grapheme. (It's a bad idea to use Grapheme by default, because grapheme segmentation is very expensive and will slow down your program if overused. Don't use it unless you actually need to.)
