0x187B

0x187B is a hexadecimal numeral. In decimal notation, it equals 6267. The 0x prefix is commonly used in computer science to indicate that a number is expressed in base 16, distinguishing it from decimal, binary, or octal representations.

In programming, 0x187B can appear as a literal value in languages such as C, C++, Java, and JavaScript. It is interpreted as the unsigned integer 6267 (subject to the language’s integer size and context). Hex literals like this are frequently used for bitwise operations, masks, color values, and low-level hardware interfacing where compact, readable representations of binary data are advantageous.

In the Unicode standard, the code point U+187B falls in the extended Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block. This range includes characters used to write certain Indigenous languages in Canada. U+187B represents a specific syllabic character, and its exact appearance and linguistic use are defined by the Unicode code charts.

Other uses of 0x187B can occur in different domains, such as memory addresses, hardware registers, or domain-specific identifiers, where hexadecimal notation helps express fixed-size binary patterns or compact identifiers. As with many hex values, the precise interpretation depends on the surrounding specification or system context.
