Basically both, as both rely on and use the fact that "AnsiString[i] =

Yep.
But what I wanted to ask is what happens, if I disregard this, e.g using
the "wrong" String type as a parameter when calling a function or when
using "SetCodePage" in a "creative" way. What about Type casting ?
There will be a conversion. Like was done before the code page aware
string as well. And then you might experience data loss if you e.g. cast
a UnicodeString with some fancy Unicode characters to an encoding which
doesn't support these characters (same as before).
