0x15A6

0x15A6 is a hexadecimal numeric literal used in computing to denote the unsigned integer with the decimal value 5542. The digits consist of 1, 5, A (which represents 10), and 6.

In many programming languages that adopt C-style hex notation, 0x15A6 is written with the 0x prefix and can appear in source code as a constant. It may be used to initialize variables, specify bit masks, or encode data in a compact form. Its 16-bit representation is 0001 0101 1010 0110, which makes it convenient for low-level operations such as bitwise manipulation and hardware interfacing.

In Unicode, the code point U+15A6 exists as part of the standard’s set of characters. U+15A6 is located in the block commonly associated with Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics, and the exact glyph shown depends on the font being used. While the code point is related to text encoding rather than numeric calculations, the same hexadecimal notation is used to refer to it in documentation and data files.

Applications and interpretation of 0x15A6 depend on context. It can represent a numeric constant, an address offset, a part of a bit field, or data within a protocol. Like other hex literals, its meaning is determined by width, endianness, and the surrounding software or hardware environment.
