0xC46

0xC46 is a hexadecimal literal that can denote the decimal value 3142. The prefix 0x is used in many programming languages to indicate hexadecimal notation. Because it is a three-digit hex number, 0xC46 represents 12 bits of information (C=12, 4=4, 6=6).

In practice, 0xC46 can appear in source code as a constant, in hex dumps showing memory contents, or as part of identifiers in binary formats. Its exact meaning is context-dependent: it could be used as an integer constant, a bitmask, a flag combination, or as a segment of a larger identifier in a file or protocol.

If written in a language where integers are signed, 0xC46 equals 3142 in decimal, which may be interpreted as a small numeric value or combined with other bits to influence behavior. In debugging or low-level development, developers may encounter 0xC46 when inspecting registers, addresses, or protocol fields that are expressed in hexadecimal.

Because 0xC46 does not uniquely identify any standard hardware component, software library, or protocol on its own, further context is required to determine its role. See also hexadecimal notation, the 0x prefix, decimal conversion, and hex literals in programming languages.
