A string represents text as a sequence of characters. Those characters can include letters, numeric digits, spaces, and other printable symbols. When a string contains the characters 1, 2, and 3, they are treated as text ("1" "2" "3"), not as the numeric value 123. Therefore, the statement that a string can contain numeric characters that are treated as text is true. Strings are not limited to a single character, they may include spaces, and they are not automatically converted to numbers just because they contain only digits - such conversion requires an explicit operation in most languages.
