01101001

01101001 is an eight-bit binary numeral. In base-2, it corresponds to the decimal value 105. In the context of character encoding, the eight-bit value 01101001 represents the lowercase Latin letter 'i' in ASCII. Since ASCII is effectively 7-bit and UTF-8 preserves ASCII for code points 0–127, the byte 01101001 encodes the character 'i' in modern text as well.

The string 01101001 is commonly used as an example in teaching binary and encoding concepts. Its hexadecimal representation is 0x69, and it can appear in memory dumps, binary files, and network protocol payloads as a concrete instance of how text is stored as binary data. In Unicode, the character 'i' has the code point U+0069, which aligns with the same binary value when encoded in UTF-8/ASCII.

Context and significance: While 01101001 itself has no semantic meaning beyond representing the character 'i', it illustrates the broader relationship between binary data and human-readable text. It serves as a didactic reference for understanding how 8-bit bytes map to characters in widely used encodings and how binary patterns are interpreted by software.
