0x16D5

0x16D5 is a hexadecimal numeral prefixed with 0x, indicating the value 0x16D5. In decimal, this value is 5845, and in binary it is 0001011011010101 (16 bits). The 0x16D5 form is common in computing for representing constants, addresses, or offsets, because hexadecimal provides a compact encoding of binary data. In programming languages such as C, C++, Java, and Python, literals starting with 0x denote hexadecimal values; the exact type (8, 16, or 32 bits) depends on the language and the variable it is assigned to.

As a piece of data, 0x16D5 can appear in various contexts, for example as the offset within a data structure, a constant used in an algorithm, or a small test value in debugging. It is not associated with a specific standard, protocol, or widely recognized symbol beyond its numeric meaning, so its meaning is determined entirely by the surrounding context. Because 0x-prefixed values map directly to binary, they are often used in low-level programming, firmware, and hardware interfaces.
