One simple solution is to transform your text file into what could be used to initialize an array of char. So, you'd get 0x41,0x42,0x43,0x30,0x31,0x32 for "ABC012". You can then #include this sequence of bytes. You can also escape all non-ASCII chars instead of converting everything into bytes so that most of the text is still readable in the generated include file.
