0x26E3

0x26E3 is a hexadecimal numeral that is commonly used in computing to denote a specific Unicode code point when written in hexadecimal notation. In the Unicode standard, the code point is U+26E3, which resides in the Miscellaneous Symbols block. The glyph associated with U+26E3 is a single symbol; the exact visual appearance depends on the font and rendering engine, and may not be available in all fonts. Because it is a symbol, it appears in plain text just like other characters, but its interpretation is dependent on context and font.

In encoding terms, U+26E3 is encoded in UTF-8 as the three-byte sequence E2 9B A3. In UTF-16, it is encoded as 0x26E3. In HTML and XML, it can be represented as a numeric character reference: ⛣ or ⛓. In many programming languages, the prefix 0x is used to denote hexadecimal literals, so 0x26E3 can be used in source code to express this point.

Use cases for this code point vary; it may appear in symbol tables, UI icon sets, or technical documentation. Because the symbol’s appearance is font-dependent, some environments may not render it at all, or may substitute a generic placeholder.
