how many bits in a byte ? not 9


Eg %011010110 would become %100101001
Strangely I can display the value of byteA in the display (LabX1) but ~byteA comes up empty.
what display? , how displayed ?
if its a common garden variety lcd , chrs in this range 127 < chr >160 are not in the built in font
so using var A = $66
A will print on lcd
~A ($99) will not print on lcd
