0xF7

0xF7 is a hexadecimal literal used in computing to denote the byte value 0xF7, which equals decimal 247 and binary 11110111. The prefix 0x is used in many programming languages, including C, C++, Java, Python, and JavaScript, to indicate hexadecimal notation.

In character encoding terms, the Unicode code point U+00F7 corresponds to the division sign ÷. In ISO/IEC 8859-1 (Latin-1) and related single-byte encodings, the byte value 0xF7 can represent that character. In Unicode, the character is mapped to U+00F7, and in HTML it can be referenced as ÷ or ÷.

As a programming and data value, 0xF7 represents the numeric value 247. It can be used in bitwise operations, masks, and as an 8-bit value within binary protocols. In larger data structures or color computations, 0xF7 may form part of a bigger value (for example, as a component in a 24-bit or 32-bit quantity), but on its own it is simply the 8-bit value 247. The exact interpretation of 0xF7 depends on the context, such as the processor’s instruction set, a file format’s fields, or a network protocol. Endianness affects how multi-byte sequences are arranged, but a single byte value like 0xF7 remains 247 when interpreted as an 8-bit quantity.
