FAQ
- How is each character converted to binary?
- Each character's ASCII (or Unicode) code point is obtained with charCodeAt(), then converted to an 8-bit binary string using toString(2) padded to 8 digits. The resulting bytes are joined with spaces.
- What happens with non-ASCII characters?
- For characters with code points above 127 (accented letters, symbols, emoji), the tool encodes the JavaScript charCode value as a binary byte. Note that multi-byte Unicode characters may require more than one byte for a fully accurate UTF-8 representation.
- How do I convert the binary back to text?
- Use the Binary to Text tool. Simply copy the binary output, paste it into the Binary to Text decoder, and get the original text back.
Text to binary conversion encodes each character in your input text as an 8-bit binary number, with bytes separated by spaces. For example, the letter "H" (ASCII code 72) becomes "01001000". This representation is widely used in computer science education to understand how computers store text, in steganography, and in CTF challenges.
