0x049E

0x049E is a hexadecimal literal used in computing to denote an integer value. In decimal notation, the value is 1182. The 0x prefix indicates base-16, and leading zeros do not change the value (0x049E equals 0x49E).

In programming languages such as C, C++, Java, Python, and JavaScript, 0x049E is parsed as an integer literal whose signedness depends on the surrounding context. It is commonly used as a constant in bitwise operations or as a small numeric payload in low-level code. For example, performing a bitwise OR with 0x0200 yields 0x069E, and a bitwise AND with 0x00FF yields 0x009E.

0x049E can also serve as a memory address offset, a flag pattern, or a generic hexadecimal identifier in 16-bit or wider contexts. Its value remains the same regardless of the surrounding syntax, provided the base remains hexadecimal.

In Unicode discussions, hexadecimal values are often mapped to code points written as U+xxxx. If 0x049E is used in this way to refer to a Unicode code point, it corresponds to the code point U+049E, though the displayed glyph depends on the font and rendering system. The exact character and its properties are defined by the Unicode standard and the text encoding in use.
