0x2641

0x2641 is a hexadecimal literal commonly encountered in computer science and information technology. The prefix "0x" indicates that the subsequent digits are in base‑16 notation. Interpreted as a number, 0x2641 equals 9,793 in the decimal system. As a 16‑bit value it can be represented in binary as 0010 0110 0100 0001.

In many programming languages, 0x2641 can be used as an integer constant. It may appear in source code, debugging output, documentation or configuration files. Because the value falls within the range of Unicode code points, it is also frequently referenced as U+2641 in Unicode discussions. The Unicode character assigned to this code point is a graphic symbol from the Miscellaneous Symbols block; it is rendered by most modern fonts as the character “⚑”.

In the context of memory addresses, 0x2641 could designate a specific location in a program’s address space, for example when inspecting a memory dump, setting a breakpoint or documenting a handler’s offset. When used as part of a file format specification, the hexadecimal value may encode an identifier, flag, or checksum component.

Hexadecimal values such as 0x2641 are preferred by engineers because of their compactness and ease of conversion between binary and decimal systems. Hex digits group nicely with the 4‑bit boundaries of binary, making low‑level analysis of data straightforward.

Because the same numeric value can serve many purposes—an integer constant, a memory address, a Unicode scalar, or part of a protocol header—documentation typically clarifies the intended meaning in each occurrence.
