0xE23

0xE23 is a hexadecimal numeric literal commonly used in computing and programming. When read as a hex value, it represents the decimal number 3,619. The digits E, 2, and 3 correspond to the hexadecimal values 14, 2, and 3, so the value equals 14×256 + 2×16 + 3 = 3,619. In binary, 0xE23 is 1110 0010 0011. This places the value well within 12 bits and it can appear in 16-bit or wider integer representations.

In programming languages that use C-style syntax, a leading 0x indicates a hexadecimal constant. Developers use 0xE23 in various contexts such as bit masks, flags, small integers, offsets, or as a compact numeric identifier in algorithms and data structures. It may also appear in memory dumps, low-level debugging, or firmware documentation where hexadecimal numbering is common.

Context determines its meaning. Without additional information—such as the data type, endianness, or the domain in which it’s used—0xE23 is simply a numeric literal. It could denote an index, a register value, a part of a larger address, or a symbolic constant in source code. Because hex values are often used to reflect hardware and protocol specifications, 0xE23 can appear in a wide range of technical materials, but its interpretation depends on the surrounding context.
