0x125B

0x125B is a hexadecimal numeric literal commonly used in programming and computing. The prefix 0x signals that the value that follows is in base-16, as opposed to decimal (base-10). The hexadecimal value 0x125B equals the decimal number 4699.

In source code, such literals can represent constants, bit masks, memory addresses, or other fixed values. Their meaning depends on the surrounding context, including data width (for example whether they are used as 16-bit or 32-bit values) and endianness when interpreted as binary data or memory addresses.

In Unicode, 0x125B corresponds to the code point U+125B, which lies in the Ethiopic block (U+1200 to U+137F). This code point represents a single Ethiopic character used in scripts for languages such as Amharic and Tigrinya. The exact glyph is font-dependent, reflecting variation in Ethiopic typography.

Encoding considerations: because U+125B is within the Basic Multilingual Plane, UTF-16 represents it with a single 16-bit unit, while UTF-8 encodes it with three bytes. The specific byte sequence in UTF-8 depends on the encoding rules and endianness used for the data stream.
