0x214A

0x214A is a hexadecimal numeric literal commonly used in computing. In decimal form, it equals 8522. As a 16-bit unsigned value, it represents the binary pattern 0010 0001 0100 1010.

In programming, a constant like 0x214A can appear in various contexts depending on the system and language. It may be used as a numeric value in calculations, a bitfield mask, an offset in memory, or an identifier within a data structure or protocol. On different architectures, the same numeric value can have different implications for endianness; for example, in a little-endian 16-bit representation the bytes would be 4A followed by 21.

0x214A can also be interpreted in other domains. As a color value, if expanded to a 24-bit color code, it could represent the hex color 00214A, which corresponds to RGB(0, 33, 74)—a dark blue shade. As a Unicode code point, the sequence U+214A would place it in the range of the Unicode Letterlike Symbols block, where the exact glyph and name are defined by the Unicode standard.

Because 0x214A is simply a numeric literal, its meaning is entirely context-dependent. Without specific surrounding code, hardware documentation, or data format specification, it denotes a numeric value rather than having a universal, intrinsic meaning.
