0x16F1

0x16F1 is a hexadecimal numeric literal used in computing to denote the decimal value 5873. The 0x prefix signals base-16 notation, a common convention in programming and digital systems.

In source code, such literals initialize constants, define bit masks, or serve as compact identifiers. In languages like C, C++, Java, or JavaScript, you might see examples such as int x = 0x16F1;. The exact meaning of the value depends on context, including the data type and how the value is interpreted by the surrounding software or hardware.

0x16F1 may also appear as part of protocol identifiers, hardware configuration values, or color data in certain formats. For example, in some 16-bit color representations such as RGB565, a hex value like 0x16F1 can encode a particular mix of red, green, and blue components according to the format’s bit allocation.

Without a defined specification or context, 0x16F1 carries no universal meaning beyond its numeric value. Its significance is derived from the system using it, such as a software API, a hardware register map, or a data format.
