0x2C6

0x2C6 is a hexadecimal numeric literal used in computing to denote the decimal value 710. The prefix 0x indicates hexadecimal notation, and the digits 2, C, and 6 correspond to 2 × 16^2 + 12 × 16 + 6, which sums to 710.

In programming languages, 0x2C6 is commonly used to specify constants, bitmasks, or memory-related values. In languages such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python, 0x2C6 evaluates to the integer 710. Its meaning is determined by the surrounding code and the data type in use.

In Unicode and character encoding contexts, the hexadecimal value 0x02C6 refers to the code point U+02C6, known as the modifier letter circumflex accent. While 0x02C6 corresponds to the same numerical value as 0x2C6, the actual character is the modifier letter circumflex, used in phonetic transcription and certain orthographies. Thus, 0x2C6 and 0x02C6 denote the same underlying value in different notational systems, but they may refer to different concepts depending on the context.

Practical considerations include how the value is stored in memory, where endianness can affect its byte representation when the value is part of multi-byte data. As a standalone constant, 0x2C6 is simply the hex representation of 710 and may appear in source code, data files, and configuration where hex literals are used.
