00100010

00100010 is an eight-bit binary numeral. As a binary value, it equals decimal 34 and hexadecimal 0x22. The pattern is commonly written with eight bits to indicate a fixed-width byte in various computing contexts.

In character encoding, 00100010 corresponds to the ASCII code 34, which is the double quotation mark. In Unicode, the same character is encoded as code point U+0022, and in UTF-8 it is represented by the single byte 0x22. This alignment means that the binary pattern 00100010 often appears in text data and string literals across platforms that use ASCII or UTF-8.

The double quote is widely used to delimit string literals in many programming languages and data formats. Consequently, the binary pattern 00100010 can appear when representing or handling quotation marks in code, and in many languages, the character within a string must be escaped (for example, as \") to avoid prematurely terminating the string.

Beyond text, 00100010 can also function as a simple bit pattern in low-level operations or hardware descriptions, where its meaning depends on the surrounding protocol or design. As a compact, fixed-width representation, it serves as a concrete example of how binary digits map to characters and punctuation in modern computing systems.
