Which direction it would be read? byte[0] is 0x01 or 0x0FF ?

What with byte[] bs = 0xabcy; ? Would it be legal - and would it be equivalent to 0x0abcy, 0xa0bcy, 0xabc0y ?

I understand that it would be kind of byte[] literal, so no possibility of overwriting contents of existing byte array, short of using
System.arraycopy(0x0102030405060708AABBCCDDEEFFy,0,bs,0,14); 
?
