char[] initialization

[Andrew Fedoniouk]

Could somebody shed light on the subject:

According to http://digitalmars.com/d/type.html

characters in D are getting initialized by following values

char -> 0xFF
wchar -> 0xFFFF
dchar -> 0x0000FFFF

what is the idea to have string initialized by valid character code instead 
of 0?

And that 0xFFFF.... Why is this special character (See Basic
Multilingual Plane) was selected?

To avoid use of strcat & co. on d strings?

(Sorry if it was discussed before)
