0x254C

0x254C is a hexadecimal numeral. In decimal, it equals 9548. The 0x prefix denotes base-16 notation, and the digits 2, 5, 4, and C encode 2×4096 + 5×256 + 4×16 + 12, yielding 9548. Hex literals are widely used in programming to express constants, bit patterns, and memory addresses because they map neatly to binary groups of four bits. In many languages such as C, C++, Java, C#, JavaScript, and Python, 0x254C can be written directly as a numeric constant and used wherever an integer value is allowed. Its interpretation is entirely context-dependent; it may represent a numeric value, a bitmask, or an index within an array or hardware register.

In Unicode, the code point U+254C corresponds to a character in the Box Drawing block. The code point is the hexadecimal form of the same numeric value as 0x254C, and it is used to refer to that specific glyph in text rendering. Characters in this block are commonly used to construct simple graphical layouts in plain text interfaces or terminals.

Notes: Using 0x254C in source code is independent of its glyph representation; code points and literals serve different purposes. In display contexts, a glyph may not render if the font lacks the character, or if a font fallback is not used. See also hexadecimal notation and Unicode code points.
