0x14D6

0x14D6 is a hexadecimal numeral written with the 0x prefix, a convention used in many programming languages to denote base-16 numbers. Interpreted as a single 16-bit value, its decimal equivalent is 5334; in binary it is 0001 0100 1101 0110. In hex notation, each digit represents four bits, so 0x14D6 corresponds to four hex digits.

In computing, hex literals like 0x14D6 are used for a variety of purposes, including specifying memory addresses, bit masks, color values in systems that use compact hex representations, and compact numeric literals in source code. The 0x prefix is common in languages such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, and many others; some languages also allow alternative notations or have specific rules for large numbers.

In blockchain contexts, 0x prefixes are used for addresses and data strings. However, 0x14D6 by itself is not a full Ethereum address (which would typically be 40 hexadecimal characters after 0x) and would usually appear as a shorter component, a value, or as part of a larger identifier within a contract or transaction.
