0x9EE

0x9EE is a hexadecimal numeral commonly encountered in computing. The 0x prefix signals base-16 notation, and the digits 0–9 and A–F are used. Interpreted strictly, 0x9EE equals decimal 2542, since 9 × 16^2 + 14 × 16^1 + 14 × 16^0.

In programming contexts, 0x9EE may appear as a numeric constant, a bit mask, or as part of a larger value such as a memory address fragment. Its meaning depends on the surrounding code, the data type, and how the value is interpreted (signed vs unsigned). Different languages may treat hex literals differently, but the basic concept remains that 0x9EE denotes a fixed, base-16 value.

0x9EE is not a standalone standard identifier in common systems such as Ethereum, which requires 40 hexadecimal characters after the 0x prefix to form an address. As such, a short literal like 0x9EE typically indicates a value within a program rather than a globally recognized address or resource.

In other contexts, hex notation is used for color codes in web design. CSS colors do not use the 0x prefix; for example, a three-digit color such as #9EE expands to #99EEEE. This illustrates how hex notation can appear in different forms, depending on the domain and conventions.
