0x4D4

0x4D4 is a hexadecimal literal that denotes the decimal value one thousand two hundred thirty‑six. The two‑digit prefix "0x" is recognized by many programming languages as a signal that the following characters are an integral value expressed in base sixteen. As a numeric constant, 0x4D4 can appear in source code, assembly language listings, memory dumps, or diagnostic logs to represent numbers, addresses, or bit masks.

In computer systems it is sometimes used as a symbolic identifier. For example, a firmware function may return the hex value 0x4D4 to indicate a particular hardware status, or a debugging routine might emit it as an error bookmark. When it appears in a file header or protocol packet, the value can be interpreted as an offset, a checksum, or a command code depending on the specification.

In Unicode, the code point U+04D4 lies in the Cyrillic Extended‑A block. This point designates the letter used in the Abkhaz language, and its glyph is rendered as Ӕ in characters that support the block. It is a capital Cyrillic letter, complementary to its lowercase counterpart U+04D5.

No other widely adopted standard defines a special meaning for 0x4D4 beyond its numeric identity and the above low‑level uses. It functions mainly as a general representation of the numeric value 1236 within digital contexts.
