0x15E1

0x15E1 is a hexadecimal numeric literal commonly used in programming and digital systems. The value it represents in decimal is 5601.

In binary, 0x15E1 is 0001 0101 1110 0001. As a 16-bit quantity, it comprises two bytes: the high byte 0x15 and the low byte 0xE1. In big-endian storage the byte sequence is 15 E1, while in little-endian storage it is E1 15. The interpretation of 0x15E1 can vary with context, but its numeric value remains 5601 when treated as an unsigned integer.

In the Unicode standard, the code point U+15E1 lies within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block. When referenced as 0x15E1 in that context, it denotes a specific code point whose visual glyph is provided by fonts and rendering systems. The exact character shape is font-dependent and defined by the Unicode character database.

Pragmatically, 0x15E1 is used as an integer literal in various programming languages, for example to initialize variables, set offsets, or encode data. It is also a common example when discussing endianness, binary representations, or bitwise operations. As a decimal, 5601 is factorizable as 3 × 1867, which is sometimes noted in mathematical discussions of small hex values.
