0x021C

0x021C is a hexadecimal numeric literal commonly used in computing to denote a 16-bit or larger value. In decimal, it equals 540. The sequence appears in software as an identifier, flag, or constant, and may be used in contexts ranging from low-level programming to configuration data.

In Unicode, the code point U+021C corresponds to the character encoded at that position. U+021C is within the Latin Extended-B block, which contains many extended Latin letters used for phonetic or regional orthographies. The character assigned to U+021C is a Latin capital letter Y with a diacritic. The exact visual rendering depends on the font and text renderer; as with many extended Latin characters, glyphs vary across typefaces.

As an encoding, U+021C is represented in UTF-8 as two bytes: C8 9C. In UTF-16 the code unit is 0x021C (big-endian) or 0x1C02 (little-endian). In UTF-32 it is 0x0000021C. These encodings illustrate how a single code point is mapped into common Unicode Transformation Formats.

Usage and notes: The character is relatively uncommon in modern general text, appearing primarily in academic works, linguistic transcriptions, or specialized orthographies. When using 0x021C in software, ensure that the environment uses Unicode-capable text handling and an appropriate font to display the character correctly.
