0xD71

0xD71 is a hexadecimal numerical literal. In base-16 notation, the digits D, 7, and 1 represent the value 13, 7, and 1, respectively, which combines to a decimal value of 3441. The 0x prefix is a common convention in programming to indicate hexadecimal constants.

In software development, 0xD71 may appear in source code as a constant, a bitmask, a memory address offset, or part of encoded data. Its interpretation depends on the language and the surrounding context. For example, in languages such as C, C++, Java, and JavaScript, a literal like 0xD71 is treated as an integer value, and it can participate in arithmetic, bitwise operations, or be used to initialize data structures.

Beyond general programming, hex literals like 0xD71 are also encountered in low-level domains such as embedded systems, where they may designate register values, instruction encodings, or port numbers. The value is 12 bits wide, fitting within common small-field representations used by microcontrollers and certain hardware interfaces.

In Unicode and text processing, hexadecimal values are used to reference code points. A code point described in hex as 0x0D71 would correspond to the Unicode code point U+0D71. Such references are a standard way to map numeric identifiers to specific characters or symbols in character encoding schemes, though the exact character depends on the code point’s assigned script or symbol.
