0096

0096 is a four-digit decimal numeral that represents the integer 96 when leading zeros are ignored. In fixed-width formats, leading zeros are commonly used to maintain alignment or to fit a defined field length.

In calendrical usage, especially with formal date representations, years are written with at least four digits; the year 0096 denotes 96 CE. Dates such as 0096-01-01 can appear in digital archives or historical databases. Historically, the year 96 CE is notable for the death of the Roman emperor Domitian and the subsequent accession of Nerva, signaling the end of the Flavian dynasty.

In computing and data formatting, 0096 is often encountered as a padded code or identifier. In programming languages where a leading zero can indicate octal notation, 0096 is not a valid octal literal because it contains the digits 8 or 9. As a plain string or numeric field, it functions simply as a fixed-length representation of the value 96.

Other uses include serial numbers, catalog identifiers, product codes, or archival references where the exact four-character form 0096 is determined by a broader numbering scheme. The meaning of 0096 is context-dependent and does not carry an intrinsic significance beyond its numerical value and the conventions of the system in which it appears.
