Does the binary mean anything

assassins-creed-2

In the puzzles of 16's files where you need to scan an image, sometimes there are hidden areas which have in binary.

Do these have any secret meaning like with the Moon Landing images the US flag is the Abstergo insignia and the banner is the Templar one?

Yes, the different code (not all of which are in binary, by the way) do have special meaning.
Here you can find a list of the codes found in 16's glyphs, along with their meaning.


The following are limited to the binary secrets.

When decoded as binary ASCII, the hidden text read "Sumerian. Me 23.", referring to the Sumerian Tablets of Destiny. Me 23 governed weaponry, which implied that the Piece of Eden that helped the Chinese invent gunpowder weapons was synonymous with the 23rd Me.
