First, we need to convert the binary number 01001000 to decimal. This can be done as follows:
| Cell | |
| Binary Digit | Decimal Value |
| Cell | |
| 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 1 |
| 0 | 2 |
| 0 | 4 |
| 1 | 8 |
| 0 | 16 |
| 0 | 32 |
Adding these values together: 0 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 = 63
Since the encoding is 7-bit, the value 63 represents the character 'C' in the ASCII table. Therefore, the character represented by the binary number 01001000 is 'C'.
