0xCE0

0xCE0 is a hexadecimal literal used in computing to denote the unsigned integer value 3296. The 0x prefix indicates base-16 notation, a common convention in programming languages such as C, C++, Java, and JavaScript. In decimal form, 0xCE0 equals 3296.

In software development and hardware contexts, 0xCE0 may appear as a constant, an identifier, a bitmask, an exception or error code, or an address in disassembled code. Its exact meaning depends on the architecture, language, and surrounding code. For example, in low-level programming or firmware, such a hex value might reference a specific register, I/O port, or memory location, while in higher-level code it could simply be a numeric literal.

In Unicode contexts, interpreting 0xCE0 as a code point yields U+0CE0, which lies in the Telugu block of the Unicode standard. This block contains characters used to write the Telugu language. The specific character represented by U+0CE0, and its name, depends on the font and text rendering system in use.

Memory representation varies by system architecture. If stored as a 16-bit value, 0x0CE0 is represented in big-endian systems as 0x0C 0xE0, and in little-endian systems as 0xE0 0x0C. The actual on-wire or in-memory bytes depend on endianness and the data type used.
