00110001

00110001 is an eight-bit binary string. When interpreted as a binary number, it represents the decimal value 49. In hexadecimal notation, it corresponds to 0x31.

In ASCII character encoding, the byte 00110001 represents the digit character '1'. ASCII encodes the digits from '0' to '9' in the range 0x30 to 0x39, so 0x31 specifically maps to '1'. This makes 00110001 a common example used to illustrate how binary patterns translate to readable text in computer systems.

As a binary byte, 00110001 can be read in two primary ways depending on context: as a numeric value (49) or as a character ('1'). In programming and data processing, the same bit pattern may be interpreted differently based on the surrounding encoding, such as ASCII, UTF-8, or a custom data format. Binary literals in code often resemble 0b00110001, signaling that the value should be treated in binary form, with interpretation determined by the variable’s type and the program’s encoding rules.
