Frequently Asked Questions

What encoding is used?
Each character is converted using its UTF-16 code point, represented as an 8-bit binary number. For standard ASCII characters this matches ASCII encoding.
Can I convert binary back to text?
Yes — enter space-separated 8-bit binary groups in the binary field and the text equivalent appears in the text field.
Is this useful for anything practical?
Binary conversion is useful for learning about character encoding, low-level data representation, and solving CTF (capture the flag) challenges.
