0x3261

0x3261 is a hexadecimal literal used in computing to denote a specific unsigned integer value. In decimal form, 0x3261 equals 12,897. The prefix 0x is a conventional way to indicate hexadecimal notation in many programming languages, including C, C++, JavaScript, Python, and others.

In practical use, 0x3261 can appear as a constant value, a memory address, a bit mask, or part of a data field whose meaning is defined by the surrounding code and data structures. Its interpretation is highly context-dependent; without accompanying documentation or specification, the same numeric literal can represent different things in different systems or protocols.

From a binary perspective, 0x3261 can be broken into two bytes: 0x32 and 0x61. In big-endian representation, the high byte 0x32 precedes the low byte 0x61; in little-endian systems, the order is reversed, appearing as 0x61 0x32 in memory. This kind of byte-level detail is relevant for tasks such as parsing binary formats, network protocol fields, or hardware registers.

If interpreted as a Unicode code point, 0x3261 corresponds to U+3261, which lies in the Enclosed CJK Letters and Months block. In that context, it denotes a circled character, with the exact glyph depending on font support.

Overall, 0x3261 has no universal meaning beyond being a hexadecimal value; its significance arises from the specific software, format, or hardware in which it appears.
