0x1A60

0x1A60 is a hexadecimal numeral commonly used in computing to represent a specific unsigned integer. The prefix 0x indicates base-16 notation, so 0x1A60 corresponds to the decimal value 6752. In binary, it is 0001 1010 0110 0000.

As a numerical constant, 0x1A60 can appear in various programming contexts, including as a memory address, an offset, a bit mask, or a data value in algorithms. The exact meaning depends on how the value is applied within a given program or system. For example, interpreted as a 16-bit quantity, its high and low parts can encode subfields or color information when using specific bit layouts.

A common illustrative use is in 16-bit color encoding (RGB 5-6-5). If 0x1A60 is read as a 16-bit color value, it yields red = 3, green = 19, and blue = 0, using the standard 5-6-5 bit partition (R bits 15–11, G bits 10–5, B bits 4–0). This demonstrates how hex literals can map to component fields in compact representations.

Note on notation: In Unicode notation, code points are written as U+1A60, which represents a specific character in the Unicode set. This is a different convention from the C-style hex literal 0x1A60, though both share the same underlying numeric value. The two notations serve distinct purposes in different domains.
