0x1C5

0x1C5 is a hexadecimal numeric value that equals 453 in decimal. In many computing contexts, a value prefixed with 0x denotes hexadecimal notation used for memory addresses, color components, or code points.

In the context of Unicode, the code point U+01C5 corresponds to a Latin letter used for the digraph representing the /dz/ sound in certain Central European languages. The character is part of the Latin Extended-B block and is typically associated with the digraph dz with a caron used in some orthographies, such as Croatian and Bosnian, though its use today varies by language and typographic tradition.

From an encoding perspective, U+01C5 can be represented in different encodings. In UTF-8, the code point U+01C5 is encoded as the two-byte sequence C7 85. In UTF-16, it is represented as 01 C5 in big-endian form or C5 01 in little-endian form. This encoding supports proper rendering when fonts include the relevant glyphs.

The character is not part of the basic ASCII set and may require font support for correct display. Its usage is largely academic or linguistic, primarily appearing in linguistic texts, digital typography, and software that needs to support specific Slavic orthographies.
