0xF88

0xF88 is a hexadecimal numeral commonly encountered in computing as a literal value. The prefix 0x signals that the following digits are interpreted in base-16. The digits F88 correspond to the decimal number 3976, and in binary they are 1111 1000 1000 (a 12-bit value).

In software and hardware contexts, a hex literal like 0xF88 may represent a variety of things depending on the surrounding specification. It can serve as a constant for memory offsets, register values, bit masks, error codes, or other encoded identifiers. Its exact meaning is determined by the particular programming language, system architecture, or protocol in use.

Because 0xF88 is only a three-digit hexadecimal value, it is not a standalone universal identifier. In contexts such as blockchain networks, full addresses are typically much longer strings that do not accept arbitrary truncations; for example, Ethereum addresses are 40 hexadecimal characters after the 0x prefix. Therefore, 0xF88 by itself should not be interpreted as a complete address or a universally recognized token.
