3.1.8.4.1.1 Literal Encoding

Literals are bytes sent uncompressed. If the value of a literal is below 0x80, it is not encoded in any special manner. If the literal has a value greater than 0x7F it is sent as the bits 10 followed by the lower 7 bits of the literal. For example, 0x56 is transmitted as the binary value 01010110, while 0xE7 is transmitted as the binary value 101100111.
