0x13A3

0x13A3 is a hexadecimal numeral commonly used in computing to denote a value in base-16. The digits 1, 3, A, and 3 together represent the hexadecimal number 13A3. In decimal, this value equals 5027. In binary, 0x13A3 is 0001 0011 1010 0011, if represented as a 16-bit quantity.

In programming, the 0x prefix signals a hexadecimal literal in many languages such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python. Hex literals are frequently used for bitwise operations, masking, and manipulating individual bits or bytes. They also appear in contexts like memory addresses and hardware port specifications. For example, in C-like syntax, one might write int x = 0x13A3; In Python, hex(5027) returns '0x13a3', and int('13A3', 16) evaluates to 5027.

0x13A3 can also correspond to a Unicode code point when the same numeric value is interpreted as hexadecimal, yielding U+13A3. This places the code point in the Ethiopic block, connecting the hexadecimal representation to a specific character in Unicode, though the particular glyph is independent of its use as a numeric literal.
