0x2C

0x2C is the hexadecimal representation of the decimal number 44. The prefix 0x is used in many programming languages to indicate a base-16 integer literal, so 0x2C equals 44 in decimal.

In the ASCII character set, the code point U+002C corresponds to the comma character (,). In UTF-8, the comma retains the same byte value, encoded as the single byte 0x2C.

Because 0x2C is a standard byte value, it appears frequently in data streams, hex dumps, and low-level protocols as a byte representing a comma or for text-based fields. The exact interpretation depends on the surrounding protocol.

In programming, 0x2C is a literal that evaluates to 44. In languages such as C, C++, Java, and JavaScript, 0x2C is a valid hex literal for the numeric value 44; in Python, 0x2C also evaluates to 44. The binary representation is 00101100.
