The short answer
Acid Burn is 5'6.5" (169 cm). Acid Burn is fictional; height reflects Angelina Jolie, the actor who portrays her, commonly listed around 5'6.5".
The biographical context: Elite hacker and cyberpunk rival in Hackers at Hackers crew / underground scene.
Fictional characters inherit the actor's measurement by default. Production wardrobe choices can shift the on-screen read by an inch in either direction, so on-screen-only references can disagree slightly.
How a fictional character even has a 'height'
Fictional characters don't have a Wikipedia infobox height in the usual sense. The number you see online is back-formed from screen references, source-material descriptions, and (most often) the actor who portrayed them.
Hackers is a 1995 American crime thriller film directed by Iain Softley and starring Jonny Lee Miller, Angelina Jolie, Fisher Stevens, and Lorraine Bracco, with Jesse Bradford, Matthew Lillard, Laurence Mason, and Renoly Santiago.
The actor connection
If the character is screen-canon, the working number is the actor's actual height. Hackers helped turn handles, phreaking, social engineering, and online crews into pop-culture images for a pre-mainstream internet audience.
An Acid Burn tee should feel like logging in through a club strobe. Not subtle, not corporate, absolutely ready to rename your machine.

Across the wider fictional tech characters field, Acid Burn sits in a fairly typical range. The cohort spans from short-by-Hollywood-standards to noticeably tall; no single height defines the category.
Comparing across this group is mostly a parlor exercise, the work, the company, and the public record matter far more than any inch differential. The reason the comparison shows up in search at all is the same reason any celebrity-stat comparison does: the question is easy to ask and the answer is easy to remember.
