x0A

x0a is a textual representation of the hexadecimal value 0x0A, commonly used in computing to denote the decimal value 10. In ASCII and Unicode, 0x0A corresponds to the line feed (LF) control character, which is used to move the cursor to the next line. In Unix-like systems, a newline is typically represented by a single LF (0x0A). In contrast, Windows uses a two-byte sequence consisting of carriage return and line feed (CR 0x0D followed by LF 0x0A) to denote a newline.

In data encoding and network communications, 0x0A often serves as a line terminator or a delimiter in textual protocols and hex dumps. It appears frequently when inspecting binary data, in log files, or when representing byte streams in hexadecimal form. In programming languages, the value 0x0A can be written in string or byte literals as escape sequences such as \x0A (for languages like C, C++, JavaScript, Python) or expressed directly in hex notation depending on the syntax of the language. The prefixed form 0x0A is the standard hexadecimal literal in many programming environments, while variants like x0a may occur in informal notes, assembler mnemonics, or as a nonstandard representation.

Overall, x0a refers to the hexadecimal 0A value, most notably its role as the line feed character in text encoding, with usage that spans text processing, data representation, and programming. See also ASCII, Unicode, hexadecimal notation, and newline conventions.
