0x256

0x256 is a hexadecimal literal used in computing to denote the numeric value 598 in decimal. The prefix 0x is a common convention in many programming languages to indicate that the following digits are in base 16.

In Unicode terminology, the hex value 0x256 corresponds to the code point U+0256. This code point represents the Latin small letter d with tail, rendered as ɖ in many fonts. The character is used in the International Phonetic Alphabet to denote a voiced retroflex plosive and appears in various orthographies for certain languages. As with all Unicode characters, its appearance depends on font support and rendering.

Beyond character encoding, 0x256 may appear in software as a numeric constant, an address offset, or a configuration value, depending on the programming language and context. Its meaning is not standardized across domains and is determined by how the value is interpreted within a given system.

In summary, 0x256 primarily denotes the hex value 598, with a noteworthy association to Unicode code point U+0256 (ɖ) when interpreted as a Unicode reference. Its practical use is context-dependent, spanning general hexadecimal notation, character encoding, and low-level programming scenarios.
