0x12A0

0x12A0 is a hexadecimal literal used in computing to denote the numeric value 4768 in decimal. The prefix 0x signals that the digits that follow are in base 16, using digits 0–9 and A–F. Hex literals like 0x12A0 are common across programming languages such as C, C++, Java, and Python for specifying constants, addresses, or bit patterns.

In software and hardware contexts, 0x12A0 may appear as a memory address, a register value, a configuration constant, or a component of a larger bitmask. Because hex aligns with binary, such values are convenient for describing hardware states or encoding schemes.

In encoding schemes such as Unicode, hexadecimal numbers are used to identify code points. The code point U+12A0 corresponds to the same value as 0x12A0 in hex, and it resides in the Ethiopic script block. The actual character varies by font and rendering system.

There is no single entity officially associated with the term "0x12A0" as a product or standard. It is primarily a numeric literal used in multiple contexts rather than a standalone identifier.
