0001010111100100

0001010111100100 is a 16-bit binary sequence. As written, it comprises 16 binary digits (bits) and does not inherently encode a single universally fixed meaning without context.

In hexadecimal notation, the string corresponds to 0x15E4; in decimal, it equals 5604.

If split into two bytes, the high and low bytes are 00010101 and 11100100, i.e., 0x15 and 0xE4. In common 8-bit encodings such as ISO-8859-1, 0x15 is a non-printable control character, while 0xE4 represents the character ä.

Applications: such 16-bit sequences can represent a flag field, a sensor reading, memory content, or a data word, depending on the system; 16-bit sequences commonly appear in microcontroller registers or binary protocols.
