0x2800

0x2800 is a hexadecimal notation commonly used in computing and digital systems to represent numerical values. The prefix "0x" indicates that the subsequent digits are in hexadecimal format, a base-16 numbering system that uses sixteen symbols: 0-9 and A-F. In this system, each digit can represent values from 0 to 15, with A-F standing for decimal values 10 to 15.

The specific value 0x2800 corresponds to the decimal number 10240. This conversion is achieved by calculating the positional value of each hexadecimal digit: (2 × 16^3) + (8 × 16^2) + (0 × 16^1) + (0 × 16^0). Hexadecimal representations are often used in programming, especially in contexts involving memory addresses, color codes, and low-level hardware configurations, because they provide a compact way to express binary data.

In Unicode and character encoding standards, 0x2800 is notable as it represents the "Braille Pattern Blank" in the Unicode block U+2800 to U+28FF. This character serves as a placeholder or space in Braille pattern sets, which are used for tactile reading systems for visually impaired individuals.

Overall, 0x2800 is a versatile hexadecimal value with applications in computing, encoding standards, and digital design, symbolizing both a specific numeric value and a character in certain encoding schemes.
