0x213A

0x213A is a hexadecimal literal that represents the unsigned integer value 0x213A in base 16. In decimal, this equals 8506, and in binary it is 0010000100111010. Hex literals like this are commonly used in programming and digital systems to express values succinctly.

In programming practice, the prefix 0x is widely used to denote hexadecimal numbers in languages such as C, C++, Java, C#, JavaScript, and Python. Such values can serve as numeric constants, bitmasks, or parts of larger constructs like addresses, color codes (within larger 24- or 32-bit values), or configuration flags. The interpretation of 0x213A depends on the surrounding code and data type (for example, as a 16-bit or 32-bit integer) and may be affected by sign and overflow rules in the language used.

When considered as a Unicode code point, 0x213A corresponds to the code point U+213A. This places it in the Unicode Letterlike Symbols block (a range dedicated to characters that resemble mathematical or typographic symbols). The exact glyph shown for U+213A depends on the font and rendering system; the character is a symbol rather than a standard alphabetic letter, and its use is typically in mathematical notation or specialized typographic contexts rather than common text.

Endianness and data width influence how 0x213A is stored in memory, but not its numeric value. In practice, hex literals like 0x213A are a fundamental tool across software development and digital encoding, serving as compact representations of values and as building blocks for more complex data structures.
