0x5A01

0x5A01 is a hexadecimal numeric literal commonly encountered in computing. The value in decimal is 23041. The 0x prefix indicates hexadecimal notation in languages such as C, C++, Java, and Python.

As a two-byte quantity, 0x5A01 can be stored in memory in big-endian as 5A 01 or in little-endian as 01 5A. In ASCII context, 0x5A is 'Z', so the high byte corresponds to 'Z' while the low byte 0x01 is a non-printable control character; the pair does not form a printable ASCII string but can be used as a composite tag in some schemes.

In practice, 0x5A01 might be used as a constant in software for device command codes, register addresses, or data format identifiers, or as a magic number in a custom file format or protocol. The exact meaning is defined by the system or documentation in which it appears.

Because hex literals are common in low-level programming, 0x5A01 is one of many two-byte identifiers that may appear in firmware, drivers, or network protocols. Without context, it represents only a numeric value.
