Please check below post to check other object prefix also
https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewSolution?urlname=Standard-Field-Record-ID-Prefix-Decoder&language=en_US (https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewSolution?urlname=Standard-Field-Record-ID-Prefix-Decoder&language=en_US)

You can get prefix of any custom object by below code:-
Schema.DescribeSObjectResult r = CustomObject__c.sObjectType.getDescribe();
String keyPrefix = r.getKeyPrefix();
System.debug('Printing --'+keyPrefix );

you can try below code to get prefix:-
public class SchemaGlobalDescribe{
    public static String findObjectNameFromRecordIdPrefix(String recordIdOrPrefix){
        String objectName = '';
        try{
            //Get prefix from record ID
            //This assumes that you have passed at least 3 characters
            String myIdPrefix = String.valueOf(recordIdOrPrefix).substring(0,3);
             
            //Get schema information
            Map<String, Schema.SObjectType> gd =  Schema.getGlobalDescribe(); 
             
            //Loop through all the sObject types returned by Schema
            for(Schema.SObjectType stype : gd.values()){
                Schema.DescribeSObjectResult r = stype.getDescribe();
                String prefix = r.getKeyPrefix();
                System.debug('Prefix is ' + prefix);
                 
                //Check if the prefix matches with requested prefix
                if(prefix!=null && prefix.equals(myIdPrefix)){
                    objectName = r.getName();
                    System.debug('Object Name! ' + objectName);
                    break;
                }
            }
        }catch(Exception e){
            System.debug(e);
        }
        return objectName;
    }
}

NOTE:- Prefix for standard object will be same in all org but custom object can be differnt. you can try below code to get custom object prefix.


Schema.DescribeSObjectResult r = CustomObject__c.sObjectType.getDescribe();
String keyPrefix = r.getKeyPrefix();
System.debug('Printing --'+keyPrefix );


Please mark this as solution if this will help you. So that if some one has same issue this post can help other also.

Hi B kId,

All sObject ( satndard or custom) record in Salesforce is either 15 or 18 digid . The first 3 digid of the record id represents the Object .

Technically it says keyPrefix .You can get eaisly in console by using below  code .
 
String keyPrefix= Opportunity.SObjectType.getDescribe().getKeyPrefix();
System.debug('*******************'+keyPrefix);

Replace Opportunity with other object and observe the magic .

Let me know if it helps !!
Thanks 
Manoj
