The representation for C# is very much fixed, as it allows, and very commonly uses, direct access into the string buffer as a ReadOnlySpan<char> or a raw char pointer, where char is the type of UTF-16 codepoints.
JS could maybe get away with it.
I think Java moved away from this back around 8, or possibly 9.
