-`std::string` literals (and the related `std::u8string`, `std::u16string`, and `ste::u32string`) can be concatenated with the **`+`** operator that's defined for [`basic_string`](../standard-library/basic-string-class.md) types. They can also be concatenated in the same way as adjacent string literals. In both cases, the string encoding and the suffix must match:
