For character constants, both 'x' and L'x' with work. So it is basically
a matter of style/taste.

But for Unicode strings, neither "foo" nor L"foo"  work: one results in
a string with 1 byte character and the other in a string with 4 byte
characters the compiler will not perform any conversion.
So for Unicode string literals, the only option is as you have shown
above:

static const WCHAR fooW[] = {'f','o','o',0};

Clumsy but this is the only way.


(for Winelib we play tricks with WINE_UNICODE_TEXT but these are not
perfect and must not be used in Wine. That's why they are in an #ifndef
__WINE__ anyway)
