0x96D4

0x96D4 is a hexadecimal numeric literal used in computing. The value in decimal is 38612. The 0x prefix marks hexadecimal notation in many programming languages, including C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python. As a 16-bit quantity, it can be interpreted in unsigned or signed contexts, depending on how it is used in code or data.

In binary, 0x96D4 is 1001011011010100. In a 16-bit two's complement interpretation, this value corresponds to -26924. In unsigned form, it represents 38612. The interpretation thus depends on the surrounding context, such as whether the value is treated as a raw data word, a memory address, or an encoded field in a protocol or file format.

Common contexts for a 16-bit hex value like 0x96D4 include low-level programming, embedded systems, and graphics. It can appear as a constant in source code, part of a bitmask, or as data initialization. In graphics, 16-bit values are sometimes used in encodings such as RGB565, where the 16 bits encode color components, though the exact meaning requires specification of the chosen format.

There is no widely recognized entity or standard that is specifically named “0x96D4” on its own. It is primarily a numeric literal, whose meaning is determined by the programming or data context in which it appears.
