Why ElementType!(char[3]) == dchar instead of char?

Arrays of char are assumed to be UTF-8 encoded text and a single char is
not necessarily sufficient to represent a character. ElementType
identifies the type that you will receive when (for instance) foreaching
over the array and D autodecodes the UTF-8 for you. If you'd like to
represent raw bytes use byte[3] or ubyte[3]. If you'd like other
encodings, check out std.encoding.
