becouse my english are bad, i'll try to make an example of what i want to do

#define A {B00111100,B01000010,B01000010,B01000010,B01111110,B01000010,B01000010,B01000010}

A,B,C,D,...Z Variables are the character patterns

pattern1,pattern2...pattern6 variables are the 6 characters that will be displayed in led display(display can display only 6 characters)

i want to transfer 6 of any A,B,C,D,E...Z varaibles i want to patrern1,pattern2,pattern3,pattren4,pattern5,pattern6.

for example

i have these varaibles:
input1="T"
input2="H"
input3="O"
input4="M"
input5="A"
input6="S"

I want
the define pattern_1 to have the content of T varaible
the define pattern_2 to have the content of H varaible
the define pattern_3 to have the content of O varaible
the define pattern_4 to have the content of M varaible
the define pattern_5 to have the content of A varaible
the define pattern_6 to have the content of S varaible

so i can print any character i want

A few things to notice:
A...Z are not variables but definitions.
The same is true for pattern _1...6

A variable has the form:

datatype identifier = value;

For example:

int myLED = 13;

If something needs to vary at the time of running your program (at runtime) you need to use a variable. If it is a constant a #define is ok, but a const would be better (At least in my opinion)

You can try to do something like:

byte pattern_1[8] = A;
//use pattern_1 here
