Converting WideChar/WideString to AnsiChar/AnsiString

Hi,

I cannot find anything definitive in the Delphi docs and in the
relevant newsgroups that answers this simple question:

What is the exact definition of the WideChar to AnsiChar conversion
(and in extension of the WideString to AnsiString conversion)?

I suppose that for all WideChar values that are valid AnsiChar values
(i.e. the ones with Ord-values of 0 to 255) are preserved in the
conversion, but what about the rest?

Cheers,

Christoph
