0x2548

0x2548 is a hexadecimal constant used in computing to denote the numeric value 9544 in decimal. It appears in a variety of contexts, including source code, data representations, memory addresses, masks, and identifiers.

In hexadecimal form, the value is 0x2548; in binary, it is 0010 0101 0100 1000. On little-endian systems, the two-byte sequence representing this value is stored in memory as 48 25, while the numeric value remains 9544. As a signed 16-bit number in two's complement, 0x2548 is a positive value, equal to 9544.

0x2548 can be encountered as a literal in many programming languages (such as C, C++, Java, and Python) to initialize integers, specify bit masks, offsets, or opcodes in instruction encodings. It may also appear as part of memory addresses when dealing with 16-bit addressing or offsets in low-level programming, firmware, or hardware registers. In certain data formats or cryptographic contexts, 0x2548 could be a protocol-defined constant used within algorithms or checksums.

Unicode note: The hexadecimal value 0x2548 corresponds to the Unicode code point U+2548, which lies in the Box Drawing block of the Unicode standard. The glyph shown depends on font support and rendering.
