10110010

10110010 is an eight-bit binary numeral. As an unsigned value it equals 178 in decimal; in hexadecimal it is B2. If interpreted as an eight-bit signed value using two's complement, it represents -78.

In computing, 10110010 may appear as a raw byte in memory or data streams. Its interpretation depends on the application: as a numeric value, as a set of flags, or as part of an instruction encoding in some architectures.

Character encoding: In ASCII, 0b10110010 is not assigned. In the Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) or Windows-1252 character sets, the single byte 0xB2 corresponds to the superscript two character “²”.

Note that in UTF-8, the byte 0xB2 cannot appear alone in a valid sequence; the character “²” is encoded as the two-byte sequence C2 B2. Thus, while 10110010 is a valid 8-bit value, its meaning in text encoding depends on the broader encoding scheme used.

Summary: Without context, 10110010 is simply an 8-bit pattern. Its numeric value, textual representation, and functional role vary with the data format, encoding, and program or protocol that uses it.
