0x80C7

Calculator application on Windows and Mac has a “Programmer” mode which will make your life easier in the situations like this. ;D

Explanation:

  1. First we need to shift 4 (binary 0000 0100) by 4 spaces to the left = 64 (binary 0100 0000)
  2. Now we need to do bitwise OR with 0x80C7 (bnary 1000 0000 1100 0111). As you can see both numbers have 1 in the 7th bit. So the result is 0x80C7
