0x04C8 is a hexadecimal numeric value equal to 1224 in decimal. In Unicode it corresponds to the code point U+04C8, which lies in the Cyrillic block. The character designated by U+04C8 is a Cyrillic letter used in certain inscriptions and minority languages; the official Unicode name can be looked up in the Unicode standard for the precise designation. The code point is categorized as a letter in the Cyrillic script.

Encoding and representations: In UTF-8, U+04C8 is encoded as two bytes: 0xD3 0x88. In UTF-16 it is represented as 0x04C8 (in big-endian form; in little-endian this would be 0xC8 0x04). In UTF-32, it is encoded as 0x000004C8. These encodings determine how the character appears in different data formats and programming environments.

Usage and context: The code point is part of the extended Cyrillic repertoire and is not a component of standard modern Cyrillic alphabets. It may appear in minority languages, historical texts, or scholarly transliterations. In ordinary text, the character is uncommon and may not be present in many fonts by default.

Computing relevance: Beyond representing a specific Cyrillic character, 0x04C8 may occur in data as a numeric literal, a byte value, or a code point reference. Its meaning is entirely context-dependent, tied to the surrounding encoding and character set being used. See also: Unicode code point U+04C8; Cyrillic script; UTF-8 encoding.
