They will be somewhere in the data or constant data segement depending on the platform.

How character constants are stored in memory is implementation dependent. There may well be a different answer for each compiler. Are you looking for an answer that is generally true for most implementations; or are you looking the answer for a specific implementation? If the latter, then you need to tell us which implementation.

Banfa's references to data and constant data segments are only generally true.
