!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is a unit [data] in computing and [Telecommunications] that consists of eight [bits]. 


The term is often used when the term [byte] might be ambiguous, as the [byte] has historically been used for storage units of a variety of sizes.


A variable-length sequence of [{$pagename}], as in [Abstract Syntax Notation One] ([ASN.1]), is referred to as an [OctetString]


[{$pagename}] can be represented using [number systems] of varying bases such as the [hexadecimal], decimal, or [octal] number systems. The [binary] value of all eight [bits] set (or activated) is [[111111112], equal to the [hexadecimal] value [[FF16], the decimal value [[25510], and the octal value [[3778]. 

One [{$pagename}] can be used to represent decimal values ranging from 0 to 255.
