0x163

0x163 is the hexadecimal representation of the decimal number 355. In computing contexts, the 0x prefix is commonly used to denote hexadecimal values.

In Unicode, 0x163 corresponds to the code point U+0163, which is LATIN SMALL LETTER T WITH CEDILLA. The character is a lowercase Latin letter with a cedilla diacritic beneath the t. A closely related character in Unicode is U+021B, LATIN SMALL LETTER T WITH COMMA BELOW, which is used in some orthographies (notably Romanian) and is visually similar but distinct in encoding.

Encoding and representation details: U+0163 can be encoded in UTF-8 as two bytes: 0xC4 0xA3. In many 8-bit legacy encodings, there is no single-byte representation for U+0163, so it must be represented using a multi-byte encoding such as UTF-8. In HTML, the character can be produced with a numeric character reference, for example ţ.

Usage and orthography: The t with cedilla has historical usage in some orthographies and typefaces, but it is not the preferred form in modern Romanian orthography, which uses the letter t with a comma below (U+021B). The presence of 0x163 in text can indicate usage of a legacy encoding, nonstandard font support, or transcription from older Romanian or related texts.

Summary: 0x163 denotes a specific Unicode code point for a Latin small letter t with a cedilla, with its practical representation and encoding determined by the surrounding text encoding (notably UTF-8 in modern systems).
