0x23A8

0x23A8 is a hexadecimal numeric literal commonly used in programming and digital electronics. The prefix 0x indicates hexadecimal notation, and the digits 23A8 represent the value in base 16. The decimal equivalent is 9128. In 16-bit and 32-bit systems, 0x23A8 may be used to represent a constant, a memory address, a register value, or a bitfield.

In programming practice, literals like 0x23A8 appear in source code, data dumps, and disassembly to convey exact values. When used as a memory address, its meaning depends on the architecture and context, such as the memory map of a microcontroller or a processor’s address space. As a data value, it may participate in calculations, bitwise operations, or as part of structured data.

Relation to Unicode: the same numeric value can be interpreted as a Unicode code point U+23A8. This corresponds to a symbol in the Unicode standard, though the exact glyph shown depends on the font and rendering environment. In practical terms, the Unicode interpretation is separate from the hexadecimal usage in code and may not be visually related to a programming context.
