0xC42

0xC42 is a hexadecimal string that uses the 0x prefix to indicate hexadecimal notation. In many computing and blockchain contexts, 0x prefixes signal that the following characters are base-16 digits. By itself, 0xC42 is short and does not conform to a standard full-address format in Ethereum or similar systems, where addresses are typically 42 characters long (0x followed by 40 hex digits). Therefore, as a standalone string, 0xC42 is not a complete address and may represent something else in a given context.

Possible interpretations include that 0xC42 is a partial address, a truncated or redacted identifier, or a reference code within a dataset, codebase, or smart contract tooling. It could also be read as a numeric literal in programming languages, in which case 0xC42 evaluates to the decimal value 3138. In other contexts, such as logs or user interfaces, it may function as a short label or alias rather than a numeric or on-chain address.

Because the meaning of 0xC42 is highly context-dependent, accurate interpretation requires additional information about where the string appears: the platform, project, or document, and whether it is intended as a partial address, a code, or a numeric value. Without that context, 0xC42 should be treated as a generic hexadecimal identifier rather than a specific, widely recognized term.
