11001101

11001101 is an 8-bit binary numeral. It is written as a sequence of eight bits from most significant to least significant: 11001101. As a standalone binary string, it can appear in digital data, computing examples, or discussions of bit patterns.

As an unsigned value, 11001101 represents 205 in decimal and 0xCD in hexadecimal. If interpreted as an 8-bit signed value using two's complement representation, the most significant bit denotes negativity, and 11001101 represents -51.

In data and computing contexts, 11001101 commonly appears as a single byte. It can be encountered in data streams, file formats, and color or sensor data where 8-bit samples are used. It also serves as a concrete example for bitwise operations; for instance, the bitwise NOT of 11001101 yields 00110010 (0x32).

In character encodings, 0xCD corresponds to Í in ISO/IEC 8859-1 (Latin-1). In UTF-8, the byte 0xCD alone does not form a valid character; it would need a following continuation byte to complete a multi-byte sequence.
