01000010

01000010 is an eight-bit binary string commonly used in discussions of digital encoding and binary notation. It represents the decimal value 66 and the hexadecimal value 0x42. In most computing contexts that employ ASCII or UTF-8, the byte 01000010 corresponds to the uppercase letter B.

In ASCII, the uppercase alphabet begins with A at 01000001 (0x41). The sequence continues with B at 01000010 and C at 01000011 (0x43), placing 01000010 squarely in the standard Latin-1/ASCII block. Because ASCII is a subset of Unicode, the same byte value 01000010 denotes the character B in Unicode code point U+0042 as well.

Beyond character encoding, 01000010 is often used as a simple binary example in teaching and programming. It serves as a practical illustration of how bit patterns map to numeric values, letters, and bitwise operations. As a bit mask, the pattern has two bits set (the second most significant bit and the second least significant bit, depending on indexing), which can demonstrate basic masking techniques in low-level code. Because it is a single, widely recognized byte, it also functions as a convenient test vector in hardware and software development.

In summary, 01000010 is an 8-bit binary representation that encodes the ASCII/Unicode character B, with a decimal value of 66 and a hex value of 0x42, and it is frequently used as an instructional and practical example in binary and encoding contexts.
