0x1420

0x1420 is a hexadecimal numeric literal. In hexadecimal notation, the prefix 0x signals base-16 representation. The value 0x1420 converts to decimal as 1×16^3 + 4×16^2 + 2×16^1 + 0×16^0, which equals 4096 + 1024 + 32 + 0, or 5152.

In computing, such literals are commonly used to express constants, addresses, colors, and bit masks. Programming languages like C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python accept 0x1420 as an integer literal, yielding the decimal value 5152 in arithmetic or for use in bitwise operations, memory addressing, or configuration data.

From a Unicode perspective, the value 0x1420 can be interpreted as the code point U+1420. This code point resides in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, which encodes syllabic characters used by various Indigenous languages in Canada. The exact visual glyph for U+1420 depends on the font and rendering system, but the code point represents one of the many syllabic characters rather than a simple Latin letter.

Beyond numeric and text encoding contexts, 0x1420 may appear in hardware identifiers, protocol specifications, or versioning schemes, where hexadecimal notation offers compact representation of binary data. The common prefix 0x is widely recognized as an indicator of hexadecimal values across programming and technical domains.
