0x1289

0x1289 is a hexadecimal numeral. The prefix 0x indicates base-16. The value equals decimal 4745 and binary 0001001010001001.

In a programming context, 0x1289 is used to specify numeric constants, bit masks, memory offsets, or addresses in low-level contexts. The exact meaning depends on the surrounding code, the data type, and the architecture; it can be a small integer, a flag set, or a part of a memory address in a 16-bit address space.

In Unicode, the code point U+1289 corresponds to the same numeric value in hex and lies within the Ethiopic block (U+1200–U+137F). It represents a single character used in Ethiopic scripts; rendering depends on font support.

Other contexts may encounter 0x1289 as an identifier in configuration files, firmware data, or hex dumps. As with many hex literals, there is no universal meaning beyond the numeric value and the specific application's interpretation.

Origin and usage: The 0x prefix originates from early C language conventions to denote hexadecimal literals. The convention has been widely adopted across programming languages and tooling, making 0x1289 a familiar form for expressing a 16-bit hexadecimal value in source code and data representations.
