00110101

00110101 is an eight-bit binary numeral. In decimal it equals 53, and in hexadecimal it is 0x35. As an eight-bit unsigned value it remains 53; in eight-bit signed two's complement interpretation the value is also 53 because the most significant bit is 0. The pattern is a common example used to illustrate how bits correspond to numbers and characters in computing.

In ASCII, the binary pattern 00110101 represents the character '5'. Therefore, when a byte is decoded as ASCII text, 00110101 displays the digit 5. The same mapping applies in UTF-8 for the ASCII subset; any text that includes the character 5 uses the same byte value.

In binary-coded decimal (BCD), 00110101 can be read as two separate digits: the high nibble 0011 encodes the digit 3, and the low nibble 0101 encodes the digit 5, yielding the decimal 35. This demonstrates how the same eight-bit pattern can carry different semantic meanings depending on the encoding scheme used.

In practical use, 00110101 may appear as a byte within data streams, files, or network packets. It is frequently cited in educational contexts as a straightforward example of how binary patterns map to numeric values and ASCII characters, illustrating the relationships among binary, hexadecimal, decimal, and character encodings.
