0x2406

0x2406 is a hexadecimal literal commonly used in software development to denote a numeric value in base 16. The 0x prefix signals hexadecimal notation in many programming languages, including C, C++, JavaScript, and Python. The digits 2406 in hex convert to the decimal value 9222.

In practical contexts, a value written as 0x2406 may appear in code, configuration files, or binary data as a numeric constant. If interpreted as a port number, the corresponding decimal value 9222 is notable for being the default port used by Chrome’s remote debugging protocol, so references to 9222 can appear in logs or code related to browser debugging setups.

In the Unicode standard, the hex digits 2406 can be read as the code point U+2406, which resides in the Control Pictures block. U+2406 is the SYMBOL FOR ACKNOWLEDGE, a visible representation of an otherwise non-printable control character. This reflects a separate, standardized use of the same hex digits outside of numeric literals.

Because 0x2406 can have different meanings depending on context, its interpretation is not fixed without additional information. It may be treated as a numeric constant, a port identifier, or a Unicode code point, among other possibilities. In practice, clarifying the surrounding data—such as whether the value is part of a memory dump, a network configuration, or a character encoding discussion—determines the correct interpretation.
