| `@ux` | unsigned hexadecimal | `0x____.____` | `0x5f5.e138` | |
You'll also find some irregular auras in use: `%lull`, for instance, has a `@uxblob` type. Nonstandard auras (i.e. those not listed in the table above) render as `@ux` visibly, but are still subject to nesting rules. In fact, the capital-letter suffixes one occasionally encounters (like `@tD` and `@uvJ`) are programmer annotations to mark the intended bit-width of a value. (`A` = {% math %}2^0{% /math %}, `B` = {% math %}2^1%{% /math %}, `C` = {% math %}2^2{% /math %}, `D` = {% math %}2^3{% /math %}, `E` = {% math %}2^5{% /math %}, etc.)

We also include two other literal syntaxes which don't resolve to atoms:
