For example if you represent 5D in a bytearray you get bytearray(b']'), but I don't understand why.

Is it because of ASCII and if so, how is Python handling all the ASCII Characters?

CodePudding user response：

Under the hood it's all binary, right?

5d in hex is just 01011101 in binary. Turns out that ] in ascii is the same in binary 01011101. So really you just have 01011101 or in base10 93 represented in Hex and Ascii.
