0x1B4

0x1B4 is a hexadecimal numeral commonly used in computing to denote the integer value 436. In hex notation, the prefix 0x signals that the digits that follow are base-16. The digits 1, B, and 4 correspond to 1*(16^2) + 11*(16) + 4 = 436. In binary this value is 00000001 10110100 for a 16-bit representation. When written as 0x01B4 or 0x1B4, the leading zeros are optional; the form 0x01B4 is often used to emphasize a two-byte value.

0x1B4 also has a connection to Unicode: the code point U+01B4 corresponds to the Latin small letter Y with hook (ƴ). Although hex literals and Unicode code points share the same underlying number, they belong to different domains: one is a numeric constant in programming, the other is a character in a character set.

In programming languages, 0x1B4 is parsed as an integer constant in languages such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python. It is commonly used in bitwise operations, masks, offsets, or as a compact literal for hardware registers or protocol fields. The same hex value may appear in various contexts within software or systems design, depending on how it is applied.

Because 0x1B4 is a generic numeric literal, its meaning is not fixed outside a particular application. The exact interpretation depends on the context, including the data type, the surrounding code, and the specification guiding its use.
