0x1AE6

0x1AE6 is a hexadecimal numeric literal used in computing. The 0x prefix signals hexadecimal notation in languages such as C, C++, Java, and JavaScript. The value equals decimal 6886 and binary 0001 1010 1110 0110.

In programming, 0x1AE6 is used as a constant to initialize variables, specify memory addresses or offsets, and serve as part of bit masks or flag fields. It may appear in low-level code dealing with hardware registers, embedded systems, or protocol fields, and can function as a compact representation of a small numeric value in 16-bit or wider contexts. Depending on the surrounding code, it might also appear as part of color or graphical data, though many formats use different representations for color.

Note that 0x1AE6 is not the same as U+1AE6, the Unicode code point notation. U+1AE6 refers to a specific character in the Unicode standard, whereas 0x1AE6 is merely a hexadecimal numeral used in source code. The two share the same hexadecimal digits but belong to different notational systems and contexts.
