As for other objects, the best way to handle strings is to use the OOP abstraction layer theory.

however Svelto.ECS already provides an un contextualised resource manager for strings that can be used with due care:

public struct InventorySearchFieldEntityStruct : IEntityComponent
    {
        public ECSString userString;
    }

which can be initialised as:

userString = new ECSString(name);

ECSString is just an unmanaged ID, you can then convert to a string with an explicit cast.
