0x94

0x94 is a hexadecimal literal used in computing to represent the byte value 148 in decimal. In signed 8-bit arithmetic, the same bit pattern 0x94 would be interpreted as -108 in two's complement systems.

Because hex literals are used across programming languages, 0x94 can appear in code as a constant, for example to specify a byte value in arrays or encoded data.

In character encodings, the meaning of the byte 0x94 depends on the encoding. In Windows-1252 (the common Western text encoding used on the Web and in Windows), the byte 0x94 maps to the right double quotation mark, U+201D. In ISO-8859-1, the same byte designates a C1 control code and is not a printable character. Other encodings may assign different symbols to 0x94.

In Unicode, the character associated with the quotation mark is U+201D, and when encoded in UTF-8 it becomes the three-byte sequence E2 80 9D.

In other contexts, such as DOS code pages (CP437/CP850), the byte can map to different symbols, further illustrating that interpretation depends on the encoding.

Overall, 0x94 is a common hex value representing a byte. Its meaning is not fixed and must be determined from the surrounding encoding, language, and data format.
