0x2F

0x2F is a hexadecimal literal commonly encountered in programming. In base-16, 0x2F equals decimal 47. In ASCII and Unicode, the byte 0x2F corresponds to the character '/', which has the Unicode code point U+002F.

In source code, 0x2F is used to express the number 47 in languages with C-style numeric literals, such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python. As a string escape, \x2F can represent the '/' character within string literals.

In URLs and web contexts, the forward slash has syntactic meaning as a path separator. When a slash must be represented literally in a URL, it is percent-encoded as %2F to avoid altering the path structure.

Beyond characters, 0x2F is a simple one-byte value in hexadecimal notation and may appear in memory dumps, buffers, or computations. Its interpretation depends on context, but it is not a standalone operator.
