That's a UTF-16 string, you need to use the wide version of the output function you are using, assuming you are using cout, what you are doing could be:
Code:
std::cout << string;

To show that string you have to do:
Code:
std::wcout << string;


In case that is not the solution, it could also be that you are reading with ReadProcessMemory the wrong amount of bytes, as size you cannot put things like "sizeof(wchar_t)", but the actual length of the string in bytes, which is "6 * sizeof ( wchar_t)" also counting the escape sequence '\ 0'.

(it would help in case you also post the code you wrote)

I already use . ReadProcessMemory function .
and i'm not strong enough in C++ language
So can you give me an example.
Thank you for helping me.

I used a 32-bit process as a target.

Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <Windows.h>

int main()
{
   DWORD pid = 1337; // Pid stand for Process ID

   HANDLE hProcess = OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, false, pid);

   wchar_t wstring[256] = { 0 };
   ReadProcessMemory(hProcess, (LPVOID)0x008D31C0, wstring, sizeof(wstring), NULL);

   std::wcout << wstring << std::endl;

   CloseHandle(hProcess);
   getchar();
   return 0;
}


And I am attaching the contents of the address 0x008D31C0 (the memory address on which the string is located).
