# UnsafeText

> An unmanaged, mutable, resizable UTF-8 string.

## Definition

* **Type:** Struct
* **Namespace:** [Unity.Collections.LowLevel.Unsafe](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unity/collections/lowlevel/unsafe.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.ManagedKernelModule
* **Implements:** [INativeDisposable](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unity/collections/inativedisposable.md), [IDisposable](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.idisposable), [IUTF8Bytes](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unity/collections/iutf8bytes.md), [INativeList\<byte>](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unity/collections/inativelist1.md), [IIndexable\<byte>](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unity/collections/iindexable1.md)

```csharp
public struct UnsafeText : INativeDisposable, IDisposable, IUTF8Bytes, INativeList<byte>, IIndexable<byte>
```

## Remarks

The string is always null-terminated, meaning a zero byte always immediately follows the last character.
