0xE5A

0xE5A is a hexadecimal literal used in computing to denote a numeric value in base 16. The prefix 0x indicates that the digits that follow are hex digits. The value 0xE5A corresponds to the decimal number 3674. In binary, it is 1110 0101 1010. In typical programming languages, the literal may be stored within a larger integer type as 0x00000E5A or 0x0000E5A, depending on the width of the variable.

Uses and interpretation: As a bare numeric constant, 0xE5A can serve various roles such as an offset, a bitmask, a flag, or a memory address in low-level code. The three hex digits reflect a 12-bit value, though in actual programs it is usually extended to fit the target integer size. The specific meaning of the value is determined entirely by the context in which it is used.

Unicode note: If interpreted as a Unicode code point, the numeric value 0x0E5A corresponds to code point U+0E5A, which lies in the Thai block of the Unicode standard. The actual glyph shown depends on the font and rendering system. In other contexts, 0xE5A may not map to a Unicode character, and the interpretation depends on the relevant specification or encoding.

Representation: Hex literals like 0xE5A are commonly used across programming languages such as C, C++, Java, and Python. They are case-insensitive with respect to the hex digits, and E and A are simply digits with values 14 and 10, respectively.
