0x72

0x72 is a hexadecimal representation of the integer 114 in decimal. In programming contexts, the prefix 0x signals that the number that follows is written in base 16, so 0x72 encodes the value 114 as a single byte.

In ASCII and Unicode, the value 0x72 corresponds to the character 'r'. In Unicode, this is the code point U+0072, which is the Latin small letter r. This connection means that, when interpreted as text, 0x72 often represents the letter r in many systems and data streams.

Because hexadecimal notation is widely used in computing, 0x72 can appear in a variety of settings, such as data dumps, memory addresses, binary file formats, and debugging output. Its meaning is not fixed by itself but depends on context: it can be a numeric value, a character, or part of a larger data structure or instruction, depending on how and where it is used.

Overall, 0x72 is a common example of hexadecimal notation in practice. It is primarily notable for representing the decimal value 114 and, when interpreted as text, the lowercase letter r. Its significance arises from its role as a concrete instance of hex representation in computing rather than from any standalone semantic meaning.
