0xD7

0xD7 is a hexadecimal numeric literal commonly encountered in computing. The prefix 0x denotes hexadecimal notation, so 0xD7 represents the decimal value 215. In byte-oriented data, 0xD7 often appears as a single 8-bit value.

In text encoding, the byte 0xD7 maps to the character U+00D7 in Unicode when interpreted under Latin-1/ISO-8859-1 and Windows-1252; that Unicode character is the multiplication sign ×. Thus 0xD7 is associated with the times symbol in many legacy encodings, though modern Unicode text uses the code point U+00D7 directly.

In programming languages such as C, C++, Java, and JavaScript, 0xD7 is written as a hex literal and evaluates to the integer 215. Hex literals are commonly used for bitwise operations, color channel definitions (for 8-bit components), and memory addressing conventions.

Beyond its numeric value, 0xD7 has no universal meaning; its interpretation depends on the context, encoding, and application. It may appear in data dumps, protocol fields, or identifiers where hex notation is used.
