And for templates, there is std.range.ElementEncodingType:

import std.stdio;
import std.range;

void foo(R)(R range)
{
     // In contrast, ElementType!R for strings is always dchar
     writeln(typeid(ElementEncodingType!R));
}

void main()
{
     string  t  = "test";
     char[]  c  = "test".dup;
     dchar[] dc = "test"d.dup;
     wchar[] wc = "test"w.dup;

     foo(t);
     foo(c);
     foo(dc);
     foo(wc);
}

Prints:

immutable(char)
char
dchar
wchar
