0xB5

0xB5 is a hexadecimal notation representing the value 181 in decimal. It is commonly used in computing and digital electronics to denote a single byte value, memory address segment, or constant in source code.

In character encoding, the byte value 0xB5 maps to the micro sign character µ in ISO/IEC 8859-1 (Latin-1) and the Unicode code point U+00B5. In UTF-8, the micro sign is encoded as two bytes: 0xC2 0xB5. This makes 0xB5 recognizable as the micro sign in environments that use Latin-1 or Unicode with Latin-1-compatible mappings.

In programming languages, 0xB5 is a valid hex literal representing the unsigned integer 181. It can be used in various contexts, such as bitwise operations, array indexing, or as a constant in code. Depending on the language, the value may be interpreted as an 8-bit unsigned quantity or as a larger integer type when combined with other literals or variables.

Memories, I/O ports, and peripheral registers in some 8-bit microcontrollers and hardware documentation may use hex values like 0xB5 to specify addresses or control codes. In such contexts, the meaning is device-specific rather than universal.

Overall, 0xB5 is primarily a numeric and encoding reference point: it denotes the decimal value 181, corresponds to the micro sign in certain character sets, and appears in code and hardware documentation as a common hexadecimal literal.
