0x1FE6

0x1FE6 is a hexadecimal numeral. The prefix 0x is a common convention in programming and computer science to indicate that the following digits are in base-16. The digits 1, F, E, and 6 correspond to 1, 15, 14, and 6 in decimal, respectively. When interpreted as a single base-16 value, 0x1FE6 equals 8166 in decimal. It lies within the 16-bit unsigned range (0 to 0xFFFF, or 0 to 65535).

In practical terms, 0x1FE6 may appear in various computing contexts as a constant, an address offset, a register identifier, a flag or status code, or a protocol token. Its exact meaning is determined by the surrounding system, language, or specification. There is no universal significance attached to 0x1FE6 itself; it functions as a numeric token whose interpretation is domain-specific.

Common contexts where hexadecimal literals like 0x1FE6 occur include low-level programming, firmware development, debugging outputs, and data encoding or configuration files. Many programming languages (such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python) utilize the 0x prefix to denote hex literals, making values like 0x1FE6 convenient for representing bit patterns, masks, addresses, or compact constants.

If a particular domain defines 0x1FE6, that definition would be contained within that domain’s documentation, such as a device’s register map, an API error catalog, or a data format specification. Without that context, 0x1FE6 remains simply a hexadecimal representation of the decimal value 8166. See also: hexadecimal notation, decimal conversion, memory addresses.
