0xEA8

0xEA8 is a hexadecimal numeric literal used in computing. The prefix 0x signals that the following digits are in base-16. The value 0xEA8 equals the decimal number 3752 (14×256 + 10×16 + 8).

In programming languages such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, C#, and Python, 0xEA8 is a valid integer constant. It can be used for various purposes, including as a constant value in expressions, as a bitmask, or as an offset in memory or data structures. The exact interpretation depends on the surrounding code and the type of the variable receiving the value.

Unicode context and comparison to code points: if interpreted as a Unicode code point, the notation U+0EA8 would designate a character in the Thai script block (U+0E00 to U+0E7F). In that context, U+0EA8 refers to a specific Thai character. It is important to note that 0xEA8 as a raw hexadecimal literal is not itself a Unicode code point; to reference a character, the U+ notation is used. When discussing text encoding, the relationship between numeric literals and code points is contextual and depends on the encoding scheme in use.

Other contexts: outside of programming and text encoding, hexadecimal literals like 0xEA8 may appear in documentation, configuration files, or data formats to specify numerical values, addresses, or identifiers. Leading zeros and case (upper or lower) are often allowed but may have implications in specific languages or tools.
