FAQ
How is text converted to binary?
Each character is mapped to an 8-bit binary number using ASCII or Unicode encoding. For example, letter A has ASCII code 65, which becomes 01000001 in binary. Chinese characters use Unicode encoding and take 2-4 bytes each.
Does it support Chinese characters?
Yes. Chinese uses Unicode (UTF-8) encoding, each character becomes 3 bytes (24 bits).
How does binary convert back to text?
Each 8-bit binary group is converted to decimal, then mapped back to the character. For example, 01000001 becomes 65 which maps to letter A.
How are characters separated in binary?
Each character binary is separated by a space. For example, AB becomes 01000001 01000010.
Is this tool free?
