0x2D8

0x2D8 is a hexadecimal numeral commonly used in computing to denote a specific numeric value. In decimal form, 0x2D8 equals 728. The prefix 0x signals hexadecimal notation in many programming languages, including C, C++, Java, and Python.

In binary and octal, the value corresponds to 0b0010 1101 1000 (or 1011011000) and to octal 1330. Such representations are often used when discussing low-level data, bitwise operations, or memory addresses, where precise control over individual bits or byte offsets is important. As a fixed constant, 0x2D8 may appear in code, configuration files, or hex dumps as a value for flags, offsets, or register settings, with its meaning defined by the surrounding context.

If interpreted as a Unicode code point, the hexadecimal 0x02D8 corresponds to the combining diacritic known as the breve (˘). This diacritic is used in phonetic transcription and in some orthographies to indicate a short or reduced vowel when applied as a diacritic above a base letter. In typography, breves can be used as combining marks or, in fonts that support it, as standalone symbols.

In summary, 0x2D8 primarily serves as a hex literal representing the decimal value 728, with practical applications in programming and digital systems. When mapped to Unicode, the related code point U+02D8 designates the breve diacritic used in phonetics and certain orthographies. The exact interpretation depends on the application and context.
