        dw 040c0h,040b0h,040a0h,04190h,04101h,04102h,04103h,04104h
        dw 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

I want to write 16bit unicode in .data sections same way you can write ascii strings in db "test"
like in some other languages supports a 16bit unicode source file

or I need to use some unicode macros to solve it?

Hi daydreamer,

You can use the WSTR macro to define UNICODE strings :

Code Select

include     \masm32\include\masm32rt.inc

.data

WSTR        string,"This is a test."

.code

start:

    invoke  crt_wprintf,ADDR string

    invoke  ExitProcess,0

END start

@Vortex - to my surprise, this works indeed:

Code Select

include     \masm32\include\masm32rt.inc

.data

WSTR        string,"Добро пожаловать"

.code

start:

    invoke  crt_wprintf,ADDR string

    invoke  ExitProcess,0

END start
