0x14EE

0x14EE is a hexadecimal numeral, where the prefix 0x signals base-16 notation. Interpreted as a hexadecimal constant, it equals 5358 in decimal and can appear in source code, configuration files, and digital data. As a 16-bit value, it fits within the unsigned range 0x0000 to 0xFFFF and can serve as an identifier, an address offset, a flag field, or a numeric constant in various computing contexts.

In memory and data representation, the bytes corresponding to 0x14EE depend on endianness. In big-endian storage they appear as 0x14 followed by 0xEE; in little-endian storage they appear as 0xEE followed by 0x14. This affects how the value is read from or written to memory, especially in low-level programming and data interchange.

In networking or software configuration, 0x14EE could be used to designate a port number (5358) or a protocol or device identifier in a loosely defined scheme. It may also occur as part of a larger value such as a hash, an identifier, or an address suffix within a system that represents numbers in hexadecimal form.

In the Ethereum ecosystem, addresses are typically 20-byte values displayed as 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal digits; 0x14EE by itself is not a valid address. It could, however, be a fragment of data, a checksum, or a type tag in an off-chain system or in documentation illustrating hexadecimal notation. See also hexadecimal notation and the 0x prefix.
