0x1A02

0x1A02 is a hexadecimal literal commonly used in computing and programming. The prefix 0x signals that the following digits are in base-16. The digits 1A02 together represent the value 6658 in decimal. In binary, 0x1A02 is 0001 1010 0000 0010, and as a 16-bit quantity it consists of two bytes: 1A and 02. Depending on the system’s endianness, the byte order in memory may be stored as 1A 02 (big-endian) or 02 1A (little-endian).

In practice, 0x1A02 is used as a numeric constant in source code, a potential memory address or flag in low-level programming, or as a field value in data protocols where fixed-size hexadecimal codes are defined by a specification. Because its meaning is entirely context-dependent, 0x1A02 can denote different things in different environments—there is no single universal interpretation attached to this specific hex value.

As with other hex literals, 0x1A02 can also be related to encoding schemes that use hex to represent code points or symbols. In Unicode or other hexadecimal-based encodings, a code point corresponding to the value 0x1A02 would be U+1A02, but the actual character and its rendering depend on the encoding and font being used, so it is not possible to infer a specific glyph from the hex value alone.
