0x3B4

0x3B4 is a hexadecimal literal used in computing to represent a specific numeric value. In hexadecimal notation, the prefix 0x indicates base-16, with digits 0-9 and A-F. The hex value 3B4 converts to 948 in decimal. Such literals are common across programming languages for defining constants, bit masks, addresses, or offsets.

In source code, 0x3B4 can appear as a constant assigned to a variable, for example to represent the number 948 in languages like C, C++, Java, or JavaScript. The exact meaning of the value depends on the surrounding context, including data type, memory layout, and the operations performed on it. It may also be used as part of a larger bitfield or as part of a protocol-specific identifier where positional bits carry certain flags.

There is a notable connection to Unicode: the hexadecimal value 0x3B4 corresponds to the Unicode code point U+03B4, which is the Greek small letter delta (δ). The character δ is used in mathematical and scientific notation, often representing a small change or difference.

Overall, 0x3B4 is primarily a numeric literal in hex form, with interpretation depending on context. Outside of computing, it has no intrinsic standalone meaning, but its Unicode mapping links it to the Greek letter delta in text data.
