Frequently asked questions
- How does text to binary conversion work?
- Each character is converted to its 8-bit binary representation using UTF-8 encoding. For example, the letter 'A' has the ASCII value 65, which is 01000001 in binary.
- Does this support Unicode characters?
- Yes, this tool uses UTF-8 encoding, so it supports all Unicode characters including emojis, accented characters, and non-Latin scripts.
- What format should binary input be in?
- Binary values should be 8 bits each (e.g., 01000001), separated by spaces. Each 8-bit group represents one byte/character.
