0x164E

0x164E is a hexadecimal numeral that appears in various computing contexts. In hexadecimal notation, the prefix 0x signals that the following digits are base-16. The value 0x164E corresponds to the decimal number 5710, but its meaning depends on how it is used in a given program or system. Hex literals like this are common in low-level programming, embedded systems, and debugging, where precise numeric values, masks, or addresses are needed.

In addition to being a numeric constant, 0x164E can reference other concepts depending on the context. For example, in environments that use Unicode code points, the reference U+164E designates a character in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block. In such cases, 0x164E is treated as the hexadecimal form of the code point, and the actual glyph will depend on font support and rendering. This block is used to represent syllabic letters for several Indigenous languages in Canada.

Because 0x164E is ambiguous without context, it can denote different things: a numeric value, a portion of a memory address or register, a color component in certain schemes, or a Unicode code point. Interpreting it correctly requires information about the data format, protocol, or language in which it appears. See also hexadecimal notation and Unicode code points for related concepts.
