0x2052

0x2052 is a hexadecimal literal commonly used in computing to denote an unsigned integer with decimal value 8274. The prefix 0x signals hexadecimal notation, and the digits 0-9 and A-F are used to represent values.

In memory and data representation, 0x2052 occupies two bytes. In big-endian order it appears as 0x20 followed by 0x52; in little-endian order the byte sequence is 0x52 followed by 0x20. As a numeric value, 0x2052 may appear as a constant in source code, a field in a binary protocol, or a memory address depending on the context.

In Unicode, the code point U+2052 exists and is associated with a specific character; the exact rendering can vary with fonts and platforms. While 0x2052 and U+2052 share the same hexadecimal value, their meanings are context-dependent: 0x2052 is a numeric literal in many programming scenarios, whereas U+2052 designates a particular symbol in Unicode.

In practical use, 0x2052 can appear in software or hardware documentation as an example of a hex value or as an identifier, flag, or opcode specific to a system. Its interpretation relies on the surrounding specification, such as the programming language, protocol, or hardware architecture.
