0x16DB

0x16DB is a hexadecimal numeric literal used in computing and programming. The prefix 0x signals base-16 notation, and the digits 1, 6, D, and B represent the values 1, 6, 13, and 11. The resulting decimal value is 5851, and the number fits within 16 bits.

In source code, 0x16DB can serve as a constant, offset, memory address, or part of a bit mask, depending on how it is interpreted by the program. For example, a 16-bit variable assigned 0x16DB stores the value 5851. Byte order matters when writing or reading the value to memory: in big-endian representation the bytes are 0x16 followed by 0xDB; in little-endian, they are 0xDB followed by 0x16.

In Unicode, the code point U+16DB resides in the Runic block, and 0x16DB corresponds to that code point when hexadecimal notation is used. Software handling Unicode may encounter this value in tasks related to encoding or displaying Runic characters. The same hexadecimal string therefore appears in different contexts with related but distinct meanings.
