0x9F

0x9F is a hexadecimal literal commonly used in computing to denote the byte value 0x9F, which equals decimal 159. The prefix 0x indicates hexadecimal notation in many programming languages such as C, C++, Java, and Python. As a single byte, 0x9F is used in various contexts, including data encoding, bit masks, and protocol fields.

In Unicode and text encodings, 0x9F can correspond to the code point U+009F, a C1 control character that is not printable in ordinary text. In most modern character sets and fonts, it does not have a visible glyph and is mainly relevant for legacy text processing or protocol-era data streams.

Documentation for specific systems may map 0x9F differently when used as a raw byte in a particular encoding (for example, some legacy code pages or embedded systems).

Usage: 0x9F is typically written directly in code when a byte value is required, for example: char b = 0x9F; to assign 159.
