Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Killer Cages: Digits in a cage may not repeat and must sum to the given total.
Kropki Dots: Digits separated by a white dot must be consecutive. Digits separated by a black dot must have a ratio of 2:1 (i.e. one must be double the other).
Solution code: Row 6, left to right. (9 digits, no spaces.)

I enjoyed the hex reference to 15.

F = 15 hex, that much I know

Nailed it! "\x" indicates a hex byte in the C programming language. I generally work in web tech, not C, so this was almost "#0F" to be more in my wheelhouse. But the "\x" notation seemed quirkier, so it won out.

What does the title of this beautiful puzzle mean?

Very clever application of all the ways to make 15!
