0x5F

0x5F is the hexadecimal representation of the decimal number 95. In computing, the prefix 0x signals that the following digits are in base 16, so 0x5F denotes the value 95.

In ASCII and Unicode, the byte 0x5F encodes the underscore character, "_". This is also represented in Unicode as code point U+005F. The underscore is widely used in programming and data naming, such as in identifiers, filenames, and constants, to connect words without spaces.

In binary form, 0x5F equals 01011111. As a single-byte value, it remains the same in UTF-8 for code points within the ASCII range. In programming, 0x5F commonly appears as a numeric literal or as part of bitwise operations, for example in C or other languages where values are written in hexadecimal.

Beyond raw value, 0x5F is a practical reference in debugging, hex dumps, and low-level software development. The underscore character it represents is a familiar symbol in many coding conventions, used for readability in identifiers and various naming schemes, while the literal 0x5F is part of typical examples of hexadecimal notation and bitwise masking strategies.
