00720073

00720073 is a 32‑bit hexadecimal value that appears in a variety of computing and data‑encoding contexts. As a raw number its decimal equivalent is 7 465 075. When interpreted as a little‑endian byte sequence it consists of the four bytes 0x00, 0x72, 0x00, 0x73, which correspond to the ASCII characters “r” and “s” with two leading zero bytes. This arrangement allows the value to be used as an ASCII fingerprint or a simple marker within binary data streams.

In Windows operating‑system logs the code 0x00720073 occasionally appears as a status or event identifier, specifically in messages related to device driver operations. Some legacy device manufacturers embed the string in firmware update packages as a version stamp, taking advantage of the “rs” payload to indicate a particular release branch.

The value is also employed in the context of the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) where it designates a specific message type identifier in certain proprietary extensions of the protocol. In the domain of digital media, certain embedded image formats that use four‑byte subchunk type codes occasionally include 0x00720073 as a custom chunk identifier for non‑standard metadata.

Because of its repeated but specialised usage, 00720073 has not earned a recognisable nickname or standalone designation outside of technical documentation. Developers who encounter the code typically treat it as an opaque numeric constant whose exact semantic depends on the surrounding protocol or file format.
