0x1A59

0x1A59 is a hexadecimal literal often encountered in computing and programming. The prefix 0x denotes hexadecimal notation in languages such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python. The value 0x1A59 corresponds to the decimal number 6745, and to the binary sequence 0001 1010 0101 1001 (a 16-bit representation).

In contexts where memory layout matters, 0x1A59 can be interpreted as a 16-bit quantity; on little-endian architectures the bytes would appear as 0x59 followed by 0x1A when written sequentially in memory. Such literals are commonly used in low-level programming for bitwise operations, masks, offsets, and other constant values in algorithms, data formats, or protocols. They also appear in debugging outputs and logs to present numeric values in hexadecimal form.

In Unicode and text processing, the sequence 0x1A59 can designate the code point U+1A59. The interpreted character depends on the Unicode standard and the font used to render it; not all environments will display a glyph for every code point in that range.

There is no single widely established topic specifically known as “0x1A59” beyond it being a hex literal and, in Unicode contexts, a code point designation. If used as an identifier within a particular API, contract, or data format, its meaning is defined by that specific context.
