0x176

0x176 is a hexadecimal numeral commonly used in computing to denote the decimal value 374. In software development and digital systems, such hex literals serve as addresses, constants, or encoded data.

In Unicode, 0x176 corresponds to the code point U+0176, which is the LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Y WITH CIRCUMFLEX, rendered as Ŷ. The lowercase form is ŷ (U+0177). This character resides in the Latin Extended-A block and appears in certain orthographies and transliteration schemes, including Welsh usage for a distinct letter sound.

UTF-8 encoding of U+0176 is two bytes: 0xC5 0xB6. In HTML or XML you can reference it as Ŷ or Ŷ; in many programming languages you can use escape sequences such as \u0176 (or \u{0176}).

Related characters in the same Unicode region include ŷ (U+0177) and Ÿ (U+0178). These are the lowercase and uppercase forms with diacritical marks that are visually related to 0x176.

In text processing and data interchange, ensuring correct handling of 0x176 and its corresponding Unicode character is important for proper rendering across fonts and encodings. Some legacy encodings may not support the character, leading to misrendering if the text is not normalized or if the font lacks the glyph.
