0x0C0

0x0C0 is a hexadecimal literal commonly found in computing and programming. The prefix 0x (or 0X) indicates that the following digits are in base 16. The sequence 0x0C0 is numerically equal to 0xC0, so its value is 192 in decimal. The extra leading zero does not change the value in standard numeric parsing.

In binary and other representations, 192 decimal is expressed as 11000000 in 8-bit form, and as 0300 in octal. In many programming languages, 0x0C0 can be used as a constant assigned to variables or used in bitwise operations, addresses, or masks. For example, in C or C++, int x = 0x0C0; would initialize x with the decimal value 192.

Encoding and character interpretation add additional context. The byte value 0xC0 is mapped to different characters depending on the encoding: in ISO/IEC 8859-1 (Latin-1), 0xC0 corresponds to the character À. In Unicode, the code point U+00C0 is the same numeric value. In UTF-8, however, a solitary 0xC0 is not a valid starting byte for a well-formed character and is treated as an invalid encoding if not part of a proper multi-byte sequence.

Applications and notes. 0x0C0 may appear as a value in source code, a memory address or offset, or as part of bit masks and hardware interfacing. While it is not a standard color notation in CSS or graphics, the underlying value 192 can be relevant in contexts such as color channel computations or protocol fields. Its interpretation depends on the language, encoding, and surrounding data.
