Frequently asked questions

How is text converted to binary?
Each character is mapped to its Unicode codepoint and then expressed in base 2. ASCII characters fit in 8 bits, while higher Unicode characters use UTF-8 encoding which can take 2 to 4 bytes.
How are bytes separated in the binary output?
Bytes are typically separated by spaces so each group of 8 bits is easy to read. The decoder accepts input with or without spaces between bytes.
Can it handle emoji and non-English characters?
Yes, the converter uses UTF-8 so emoji, accented letters, and non-Latin scripts encode and decode correctly. They simply produce longer binary strings than plain ASCII.
