0x233E

0x233E is a hexadecimal literal commonly used in computing to denote the integer value 9022 in decimal. The prefix 0x signals base-16 notation in many programming languages and configuration formats. As a numeric constant, 0x233E may appear in source code, as an address offset, a bitmask, or as part of a larger value in memory, file formats, or network protocols. Its binary representation is 0010 0011 0011 1110.

Interpreting 0x233E as a Unicode code point yields the scalar U+233E, which lies in the Miscellaneous Technical block of the Unicode standard. This block contains a variety of symbols used in technical notation. The exact glyph and name of U+233E are defined in the Unicode Character Database and depend on font support and rendering context. In practice, such symbols are typically used in specialized documentation, mathematical notation, or technical diagrams rather than everyday text.

In software development, hex literals like 0x233E are favored for expressing binary-level information because they align with the nibble structure of computers. They are often used for defining constants, masks, or addresses, and must be interpreted with attention to the surrounding data types, endianness, and the language or platform in use.
