I'm not sure what you're asking exactly, but one common technique is to
point to a string in rom, which is terminated with a null, then call a
routine that passes each non-null char to the output device.  

Implementations vary, I've also seen counted strings where the string
starts with a byte that indicates how many chars in the string. This is
useful if the string must contain nulls (00h)
