0x17FE

0x17FE is a hexadecimal numeral commonly used in computing as a numeric constant. The prefix 0x is standard in many programming languages such as C, C++, and JavaScript to indicate that the following digits are in base 16. The value 0x17FE converts to decimal 6142 and to binary 0001 0111 1111 1110. In most contexts it is treated as a 16-bit quantity, and in 32-bit representations it is often shown as 0x000017FE.

In practical use, 0x17FE may serve as a constant, a memory address offset, or a bit pattern within low-level software, firmware, or hardware design. Its meaning depends on the surrounding architecture, including the CPU’s instruction set, memory map, and data encoding schemes. Because it is a relatively small, nonzero value, it can appear in examples, test data, or as part of configuration tables and register configurations.

In Unicode contexts, the hexadecimal value 0x17FE can denote the code point U+17FE, which lies in the Khmer-related range of the Unicode standard. Code points in this region are used to encode specific Cambodian script characters; the exact glyph shown depends on font support and rendering software.

Overall, 0x17FE is a generic hexadecimal constant with potential interpretations ranging from a simple numeric value to an address, bit pattern, or character code, depending on the technical domain. See also hexadecimal notation, memory addressing, and Unicode code points.
