Are you familiar with COM BSTRs? It's basically the same thing. There is no such thing as a terminator. The length of the string is stored separate from the character buffer. So essentially speaking when the runtime reads from a string, it assumes the char*+length is the string in memory, regardless of what the values in the buffer are.
