0x159F

0x159F is a hexadecimal literal commonly used in computing to denote the unsigned integer value 0x159F, which equals 5535 in decimal. The 0x prefix is a standard convention in many programming languages, including C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python, to indicate that the number that follows is expressed in base 16.

In Unicode contexts, the value 0x159F can be interpreted as the code point U+159F. This code point falls within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, a range allocated for writing several Indigenous languages in Canada. The block covers characters used for different Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and related syllabic scripts. The exact glyph, pronunciation, and linguistic meaning of U+159F depend on the language tradition and the font in use; Unicode provides the code point, name, and compatibility information, while fonts render the visual symbol.

Beyond textual encoding, 0x159F may appear in software as a numeric constant used for memory addressing, bitwise operations, or as part of a larger value such as a 32-bit color or command, depending on the program’s context. Its significance in such cases is determined by the surrounding code and data structure rather than by the hex value alone.

In summary, 0x159F serves as both a hexadecimal numeric representation and, when mapped to Unicode, as a potential character within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block. Its practical meaning varies with the application and language context.
