0x18BE

0x18BE is a hexadecimal literal commonly used in computing to denote a specific 16-bit value. The 0x prefix indicates hexadecimal notation. The value 0x18BE equals 6334 in decimal, and its binary representation is 00011000 10111110. As a 16-bit quantity, its memory representation depends on endianness: in big-endian form it appears as 18 BE, while in little-endian form it appears as BE 18. The meaning of the value depends entirely on context; it can serve as a numeric constant, an offset, a flag, an identifier, or part of a protocol field, among other uses.

Unicode context: If interpreted as a Unicode code point, 0x18BE corresponds to the code point U+18BE, located in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics Extended block (U+18A0–U+18FF). Unicode assigns a specific name to each code point, and U+18BE represents a particular Canadian Aboriginal syllabic character used in writing systems for Indigenous languages of Canada. In text processing, U+18BE can be encoded in UTF-8, UTF-16, and other Unicode encodings like any other code point.

Other contexts: As a general hex value, 0x18BE has no universal meaning beyond its numeric value. It may appear in source code, data formats, network packets, hardware registers, or memory dumps, where its interpretation is determined by the surrounding specification.
