00001110

00001110 is an eight-bit binary numeral. In decimal, it equals 14, and in hexadecimal it is 0x0E; in octal it is 16. When written with eight bits, the pattern shows four leading zeros followed by the three ones and a trailing zero.

In computing, 00001110 is often used as a bitmask. As a mask, it has ones in bit positions 1, 2, and 3 (counting from the least significant bit as bit 0). This allows operations such as isolating or extracting those specific bits from another byte using a bitwise AND. For example, applying the mask 00001110 to a value will keep only bits 1–3 and clear the others.

In ASCII, the byte 00001110 corresponds to the control character Shift Out (SO) when interpreted as 0x0E. Shift Out is a non-printable control code that was used in older teletype and printer interfaces to switch to an alternate character set; in modern systems it is rarely needed for routine text processing.

As a binary constant, 00001110 is a compact representation of the value 14 in various contexts, such as low-level programming, hardware description languages, and digital communications. It illustrates how a byte can encode both a numeric value and a functional pattern (as a mask) depending on its interpretation.
