0x046E

0x046E is a hexadecimal literal commonly used in programming and data representation. The prefix 0x signals that the digits that follow are in base 16, so 0x046E represents the decimal value 1134. Hex notation is widely employed to express binary data in a compact, human-readable form, such as numbers, bit masks, memory offsets, and addresses in low-level code.

In the context of Unicode, 0x046E can be read as the code point U+046E. This falls within the Cyrillic range of the Unicode standard, indicating that it represents a single character in that script. The exact appearance and meaning of the character depend on the font and the language context in which it is used. Unicode code points are independent of encoding form and can be stored in various encodings such as UTF-8, UTF-16, or UTF-32.

Memory and data encoding considerations apply to 0x046E as well. When stored as a 16-bit value, its byte order depends on the system architecture. In little-endian systems, the two bytes would appear as 6E 04; in big-endian systems, they would appear as 04 6E. In network communications or file formats that specify network byte order, the value is transmitted as 04 6E.

In summary, 0x046E serves as a representative example of hexadecimal notation in computing, with potential interpretations as both a numeric constant and a Unicode code point, depending on the context.
