Английская Википедия:Hexspeak
Шаблон:Short description Hexspeak is a novelty form of variant English spelling using the hexadecimal digits. Created by programmers as memorable magic numbers, hexspeak words can serve as a clear and unique identifier with which to mark memory or data.
Hexadecimal notation represents numbers using the 16 digits 0123456789ABCDEF
. Using only the letters ABCDEF
it is possible to spell several words. Further words can be made by treating some of the decimal numbers as letters - the digit "0
" can represent the letter "O", and "1
" can represent the letters "I" or "L". Less commonly, "5
" can represent "S", "7
" represent "T", "12
" represent "R" and "6
" or "9
" can represent "G" or "g", respectively. Numbers such as 2
, 4
or 8
can be used in a manner similar to leet or rebuses; e.g. the word "defecate" can be expressed either as DEFECA7E
or DEFEC8
.

Alternative letters
Many computer languages require that a hexadecimal number be marked with a prefix or suffix (or both) to identify it as a number. Sometimes the prefix or suffix is used as part of the word.
- The C programming language uses the "0x" prefix to indicate a hexadecimal number, but the "0x" is usually ignored when people read such values as words. C also allows the suffix L to declare an integer as
long
, or LL to declare it aslong long
, making it possible to write "0xDEADCELL" (dead cell). In either case a U may also appear in the suffix to declare the integer asunsigned
, making it possible to write "0xFEEDBULL" (feed bull). - In the (non-Unix) Intel assembly language, hexadecimal numbers are denoted by a "h" suffix, making it possible to write "0beach" (beach). Note that numbers in this notation that begin with a letter must be prefixed with a zero to distinguish them from variable names. A Unix-style assembler uses C language convention instead (but non-Unix-style assemblers are also available on x86 Unix-type OSes).
- Visual Basic and all previous Microsoft BASICs such as QuickBasic, GWBasic, BASICA and ColorBASIC, use a &H prefix, for example, "&HEADED" (headed) and "&HADC0FFEE" (had coffee).
- In Pascal and several assembly languages (6502,6809,...), hexadecimal numbers are denoted by a "$" prefix. This allows for words starting with the letter "S", for example "$EED" (seed).
- In Б3-34 programmable calculators, an alternative hexadecimal alphabet was used, where the symbols "−", "L", "C", "Г", "E", and " " (space) were used instead of Latin letters. Using these, it was possible to display messages like "EГГ0Г" (error).
PlayStation 3 RSX
In reverse engineering aspects of the Sony PlayStation 3, a number of hexspeak codes were found to either trigger, affect or were present in aspects of communicating to and through the PlayStation 3 Hypervisor in communication to its GPU, the RSX Reality Synthesizer.[39]
These projects were largely born out of PS3 homebrew operating on the PS3's OtherOS which allowed Linux to be installed, initially with extremely limited GPU access.
Code | Description |

0x1337BEEF , 0x1337F001 , 0x1337BEEF |
