To write the letter "J" in binary, we first need to determine its ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) value. The ASCII value for the letter "J" is 74 in decimal.

To express this value in binary, we convert 74 to binary:

74 in binary is 1001010.

Now, we count the number of bits in the binary representation:

1001010 has 7 bits.

Therefore, it takes **7 individual bits** to write the letter "J" in binary.
