0x153C

0x153C is a hexadecimal representation of the number 5436. The 0x prefix is a common convention to denote hexadecimal literals in many programming languages, including C, C++, JavaScript, Python, and Java. Hex notation is often used because it maps neatly to binary and is convenient for expressing bit patterns.

In practical use, 0x153C can serve as a numeric constant, a bit mask, a memory address, or a value in a data structure, depending on the context. If interpreted as a 16-bit value, its binary form is 0001010100111100, and its decimal value remains 5436. The specific meaning of 0x153C thus depends on the system, the software, and how the value is applied (for example, as a flag field, an offset, or an opcode).

In computing environments, hex literals like 0x153C commonly appear in source code, configuration data, and low-level specifications. Endianness, data width, and surrounding context determine how the value is stored, transmitted, or interpreted. For example, a 16-bit register might be loaded with 0x153C, affecting several internal flags or operational settings.

In Unicode notation, code points can be written as U+153C, which identifies a specific character in the Unicode standard (within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics range). While 0x153C and U+153C share the same numerical value, they serve different encoding purposes. The hex form is a numeric literal; the Unicode form identifies a character.
