10000111

10000111 is an eight-bit binary numeral. When interpreted as an unsigned binary number, it equals 135 in decimal. In hexadecimal, the pattern is 0x87.

As a signed value in eight-bit two’s complement representation, the most significant bit is 1, signaling a negative number. The value corresponds to 135 minus 256, which is -121.

In character encoding contexts, 10000111 can map to different characters depending on the encoding. In standard ASCII, which uses only seven bits, this pattern does not represent a printable character. In extended encodings such as Windows-1252, the byte 0x87 maps to the double dagger character (‡). In ISO/IEC 8859-1, 0x87 is part of the C1 control set and is not a printable symbol. In Unicode, code points in the range U+0080 to U+009F are C1 control characters and are not typically rendered as visible characters; 0x87 corresponds to the same control block when considered as a single byte.

In practical terms, 10000111 is commonly encountered as a single byte in data protocols and software systems. The bit pattern places a 1 in the most significant bit and in the three least significant bits, with zeros in the middle, which may be used to represent a particular flag configuration or numeric value within a byte-sized field.
