11000110

11000110 is an eight-bit binary numeral. In unsigned form it represents the decimal value 198, and in hexadecimal it is 0xC6. As an 8-bit quantity used in computing, it can appear in data payloads, color channel values, or machine-oriented contexts.

If interpreted as a signed 8-bit two’s complement number, 11000110 encodes the value −58. This is because the most significant bit is 1, indicating a negative number, and the magnitude is obtained by inverting the bits and adding one.

In character encoding terms, the byte 0xC6 maps to the Latin-1 (ISO/IEC 8859-1) and Unicode code point U+00C6, which is the character Æ (the AE ligature). In UTF-8, the character Æ is encoded as two bytes: C3 86. Therefore, the single byte 0xC6 by itself is not a valid standalone UTF-8 character; it would be the first byte of a two-byte sequence in valid UTF-8 data.

From a bit-level perspective, 11000110 contains four set bits, giving it even parity. This property can be relevant in simple error-detection schemes that rely on parity checks.

Summary: 11000110 is a binary representation of 198 (0xC6) as an unsigned byte, −58 as a signed 8-bit value, and corresponds to Æ in Latin-1/Unicode. In UTF-8 it is not a complete character on its own.
