0x1A46

0x1A46 is a hexadecimal numeric literal used in computing to denote an unsigned integer value. The 0x prefix signals base-16 notation, a common convention in many programming languages to distinguish hexadecimal values from decimal numbers.

In decimal form, 0x1A46 equals 6726. In binary, it is 0001 1010 0100 0110. When stored as a 16-bit value, the byte order may vary by platform: big-endian would represent it as the byte sequence 1A 46, while little-endian would store it as 46 1A. The interpretation of the value depends on the data type (for example, whether it is an unsigned or signed integer) and the surrounding system architecture.

0x1A46 may appear in various contexts, such as a constant in source code, a memory address, a bitmask, or an identifier within data structures or communication protocols. Its exact meaning is defined by the system or protocol that uses it, and by the programming language and compiler or interpreter involved.

If interpreted as a Unicode code point, the sequence U+1A46 corresponds to a specific character in the Unicode standard, with its rendering determined by font and platform support. As with any hexadecimal constant, 0x1A46 is a notation for a value whose significance is context-dependent.
