6565//! The top-level module contains some of the most used types and macros,
6666//! including the [`Handle`] and [`Result`] types, the [`CStr16`] and
6767//! [`CString16`] types for working with UCS-2 strings, and the [`entry`] and
6868//! [`guid`] macros.

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

7280//! The [`SystemTable`] provides access to almost everything in UEFI. It comes
