0x28C

0x28C is a hexadecimal numeral commonly used in computing to denote a constant value. The prefix 0x signals hexadecimal notation, and the digits 2, 8, and C correspond to decimal values 2, 8, and 12, respectively, giving a decimal value of 652. In binary, 0x28C is 0010 1000 1100. The value appears in programming as an identifier, offset, mask, or constant in low-level code, configuration data, or hexadecimal representations of data.

In programming languages that support hexadecimal literals, such as C, C++, Java, and JavaScript, 0x28C can be used directly in expressions. It may appear in contexts like array indexing, bitwise operations, addressing calculations, or as part of a larger data payload. Leading zeros do not change the value, so 0x028C is equivalent to 0x28C.

0x28C can also reference a Unicode code point in the notation U+028C when interpreted as hexadecimal digits in character encoding. U+028C designates the Latin small letter turned v, used in the International Phonetic Alphabet to represent a specific vowel sound. This illustrates how the same numeric string can have distinct meanings in different domains: a numeric constant in software versus a character code in text encoding.
