Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert text to binary?
Type your text and the tool converts each character to its binary code based on its character code point. You can also convert to decimal, octal or hexadecimal, and decode any of them back to text.
How is a character turned into binary?
Each character has a numeric code point (for example A is 65). That number is written in base 2, typically as an 8-bit byte, so A becomes 01000001.
Can it decode binary back to text?
Yes. Paste binary digits grouped into bytes and the tool converts them back into readable text, which is useful for puzzles and for understanding encoding.
Does it support Unicode characters and emoji?
Yes. Characters beyond basic ASCII, including accented letters and emoji, are encoded using their full code points so they round-trip correctly.
