0x17B5

0x17B5 is a hexadecimal literal that appears in various computing contexts. In decimal form, it equals 6069. The 0x prefix is a common convention in many programming languages to denote a base-16 value, such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python.

In software development, 0x17B5 can be used as a numeric constant, a bit mask, an offset, or part of an address in low-level programming. It may appear in source code to represent a specific value in algorithms, hardware interfacing, or data processing. Because hex literals map directly to binary representations, they are often useful for bitwise operations and for aligning with memory layouts or hardware registers.

In the realm of text encoding, 0x17B5 can refer to a Unicode code point when written in the form U+17B5. This places it within the Khmer block of the Unicode standard (U+1780 to U+17FF), which is used for the Khmer script of the Cambodian language. In this context, the actual character or symbol displayed depends on the font and rendering system being used; not all environments will render U+17B5 identically.

If encountered as part of data interchange, 0x17B5 should be interpreted according to the surrounding protocol or data format to determine whether it represents a numeric value, a code point, an address, or a bit-field flag.
