literal strings are what, exactly??

I need guidance, please. Bare literals denote themselves, OK. BUt 
themselves are what, exactly? ASCII strings? Unicode strings? UTF-8 
character code sequences??

If this question has an answer, I'd be grateful for guidance and a 
uriref to a suitable normative reference if there is one, thanks.

I would like a sub-XML answer, if possible. That is, I would like to 
leave open the question of whether or not these things are XSD 
'strings', and leave that to XML schema to decide.

Pat
