6060//! The top-level module contains some of the most used types and macros,
6161//! including the [`Handle`] and [`Result`] types, the [`CStr16`] and
6262//! [`CString16`] types for working with UCS-2 strings, and the [`entry`] and
6363//! [`guid`] macros.

65+ //! ## UEFI Strings
66+ //!
67+ //! Rust string literals are UTF-8 encoded and thus, not compatible with most
68+ //! UEFI interfaces. We provide [`CStr16`] and [`CString16`] for proper working
69+ //! with UCS-2 strings, including various transformation functions from standard
70+ //! Rust strings. You can use [`ctr16!`] to create UCS-2 string literals at
71+ //! compile time.
