How Binary Encoding Works
🔢 What is Binary?
Binary is a base-2 number system using only 0 and 1.
Computers use binary because electronic circuits have two states: on (1) and off (0).
📝 ASCII Encoding
Each text character has an ASCII code (0-127). This code is converted to 8 binary digits (bits).
- 'A' = 65 =
01000001 - 'a' = 97 =
01100001 - '0' = 48 =
00110000
🌐 UTF-8 Support
This converter supports UTF-8, allowing emojis and special characters. UTF-8 uses 1-4 bytes per character.
💡 Quick Tips
- Uppercase letters: 65-90
- Lowercase letters: 97-122
- Digits 0-9: 48-57
