01111010

01111010 is an eight-bit binary numeral. In decimal form it equals 122. As a binary pattern, it is a common example used to illustrate how binary data maps to characters in computer systems.

In ASCII and Unicode, the eight-bit sequence 01111010 encodes the lowercase Latin letter z. The corresponding Unicode code point for this character is U+007A. In UTF-8, the character z is encoded as the single byte 0x7A, which in binary is 01111010. Thus, this bit pattern is a direct representation of the character z in common text encodings.

In programming and computing, binary literals are often written with a prefix such as 0b or 0B, so 0b01111010 expresses the same value as 01111010. In hexadecimal notation, this value is 0x7A. The pattern is also representative of how 8-bit ASCII-compatible data is stored in memory, where the most significant bit is 0 for standard ASCII characters.

Context and usage: 01111010 appears in binary arithmetic demonstrations, data dumps, and examples illustrating the correspondence between binary representations and textual data. It also serves as a reminder that ASCII and Unicode encodings map specific bit patterns to characters in a predictable way.
