0x2676

0x2676 is a hexadecimal literal used in computing to denote the unsigned integer with the decimal value 9846. Hex literals like this are common in many programming languages, including C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python, and are typically written with a 0x prefix to distinguish them from decimal numbers. They are frequently employed in low-level tasks such as bitwise operations, masking, addressing, and representing color components in some color formats.

In terms of binary and memory representation, 0x2676 corresponds to the 16-bit pattern 0010 0110 0111 0110. When stored in memory, the arrangement of the two bytes depends on endianness: in big-endian form the bytes appear as 0x26 followed by 0x76, while in little-endian form they appear as 0x76 followed by 0x26. The width of the value also matters for sign interpretation and for how it is padded in wider integer types.

In Unicode contexts, 0x2676 can be read as the code point U+2676, which lies in the Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs block. The character defined at this code point is a symbolic glyph, and its visual rendering depends on the font and platform. The Unicode name and exact glyph are specified by the Unicode standard and fonts, so appearance can vary across environments.
