0x23F0

0x23F0 is a hexadecimal literal used in computing and digital systems. In base-10 (decimal) it equals 9184, and in binary it is 0010 0011 1111 0000 when represented as a 16-bit value. Hex notation like 0x23F0 is a common shorthand for expressing fixed-width integers, bit patterns, addresses, and other low-level data.

In Unicode, the code point U+23F0 corresponds to the ALARM CLOCK symbol, a character in the Miscellaneous Technical block. This symbol is widely available in text and font sets and is used in technical documentation, scheduling contexts, and user interfaces as a pictographic indicator of an alarm or timer.

In software development, hexadecimal literals such as 0x23F0 appear in source code across languages including C, C++, Java, and JavaScript. They serve as constants for bitwise operations, masks, offsets, color representations in compact formats, and memory addressing. The value itself carries no special meaning beyond its numeric or bitwise interpretation, but it can be combined with other values to form larger constructs, or interpreted as a code point when discussing character encoding.

Related topics include other hex literals in the same range (for example, 0x2300–0x23FF), and the Unicode code point U+23F0. The dual presence of 0x23F0 in programming and U+23F0 in text reflects the parallel use of hexadecimal notation and Unicode for representing data and symbols.
