0x14B3

0x14B3 is a hexadecimal numeral used in computing and related fields. The prefix 0x signals that the following digits are in base-16. The digits 1, 4, B (which stands for decimal 11), and 3 form the 16-bit value 0x14B3. In decimal notation, this value is 5299. In binary, 0x14B3 is 0001 0100 1011 0011.

Common uses of 0x14B3 arise from its role as a literal constant in programming and digital systems. It can appear as a constant in source code for various purposes, such as an initial value, a flag mask in bitwise operations, or a memory address offset in low‑level programming languages. In some contexts, 0x14B3 may be interpreted as a 16-bit word in data formats, registers, or communication protocols. Because hexadecimal notation is widely used to represent binary data succinctly, 0x14B3 frequently serves as a representative example of a 16-bit value rather than a value with fixed, widely defined meaning on its own.

If written in Unicode notation as U+14B3, it denotes a specific code point, with the actual character determined by the font and rendering system. Without context, 0x14B3 is simply a number; its significance depends on how it is applied within a particular system, protocol, or programming task.
