Frequently asked questions
How is text converted to binary?
Each character is converted to its character code and written as an 8-bit binary number, separated by spaces.
What format should binary input use?
Space-separated 8-bit groups, e.g. 01001000 01101001.
Why 8 bits per character?
8 bits (one byte) covers all standard ASCII codes 0–255. Characters beyond ASCII use multiple bytes in encodings like UTF-8.
