0x16C3

0x16C3 is a hexadecimal numeric literal that denotes the value 0x16C3 in hex, equal to 5827 in decimal. The prefix 0x is a common convention in programming to indicate hexadecimal notation, used across languages such as C, C++, Java, and Python to express constant values, bitmasks, and addresses.

In source code, 0x16C3 can serve as a constant used in calculations, bitwise operations, or as an offset or address descriptor depending on the context. Its binary representation is 0001 0110 1100 0011, and how it is stored in memory can depend on endianness: a 16-bit unsigned integer would store the bytes as 0x16 followed by 0xC3 in big-endian form, or 0xC3 followed by 0x16 in little-endian form.

In the Unicode standard, U+16C3 is a code point located in the Runic block, which contains characters used in historical North European alphabets. The exact glyph and name associated with U+16C3 depend on font support and the Unicode data file in use; rendering can vary across fonts and environments.

In practical terms, 0x16C3 often appears in contexts such as hex dumps, debugging output, or protocol specifications where precise numeric values are required. Without additional context, it represents a 16-bit value whose interpretation is determined by the surrounding software or data format.
