0x99A

0x99A is a hexadecimal numeral commonly used in computing to represent a base-16 value. In decimal notation, 0x99A equals 2458. The 0x prefix indicates hexadecimal, which is standard in many programming languages for integer literals.

In programming contexts, 0x99A can appear as a constant in languages such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python. It participates in ordinary arithmetic with other integers, and may be used to represent bit masks, offsets, or other encoded data, depending on the application. The exact meaning of 0x99A is determined entirely by context; it is not inherently associated with any particular data type or operation beyond being a numeric literal.

As a Unicode code point, 0x99A can be interpreted as U+099A, which places it in the Bengali block of the Unicode standard. This block is used for Bengali script, including Bengali and Assamese languages. The specific glyph for U+099A depends on font rendering; without a font that supports the Bengali script, the character may appear as a placeholder or box.

In other settings, 0x99A may occur in data dumps, network traces, or documentation as a compact hexadecimal representation of a value or address. Because hexadecimal notation is context-dependent, its interpretation requires additional information about the data structure, protocol, or programming language in use.
