0x243E

0x243E is a hexadecimal numeral used in computing to denote the integer value 9,278 in decimal. It commonly appears in source code as a literal, in memory dumps, or in data representations that use hexadecimal notation. In programming languages with C-like syntax, 0x243E may specify constants, bit patterns, or addresses. Its binary representation is 0010 0100 0011 1110, and its decimal value is 9,278.

In Unicode, the code point U+243E is located in the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) block. The character assigned to U+243E represents a specialized symbol used in legacy OCR schemes. While not commonly used in modern typesetting, it appears in discussions of encoding and symbol inventories when cataloging Unicode code points.

In practical terms, 0x243E serves as a concrete example of hexadecimal notation rather than a fixed standard with a universal meaning. Its interpretation depends on the surrounding context, such as a specific program, device register map, or data format. It may function as a memory offset, a mask, or part of a color or graphics specification in certain systems.
