0x31

0x31 is a hexadecimal literal commonly encountered in computing and programming. When interpreted as a base-16 number, 0x31 equals 49 in decimal. The two hex digits 3 and 1 contribute to the value as 3×16 + 1 = 49.

In ASCII and Unicode, the code point U+0031 represents the character '1', and the byte value 0x31 corresponds to that same glyph. In many programming languages, escape sequences such as \x31 or \u0031 encode the character '1', illustrating how 0x31 functions both as a numeric value and as a textual representation in encoded form.

0x31 can appear in a variety of practical contexts. As a two-digit hex value, it may be part of byte arrays, color codes, cryptographic data, or other binary representations. It can also be a fragment of a longer hexadecimal string that encodes binary data, addresses, hashes, or machine instructions. The prefix 0x is a conventional indicator of hexadecimal notation in languages like C, JavaScript, Python, and many others. The meaning of 0x31 depends on context: as a numeric literal it denotes 49, whereas in a text-encoded sequence it may denote the character '1'.
