Understanding Encoding
What is 8-bit Binary?
Each character is represented by a sequence of 8 bits (1s and 0s). This is the standard size for a single byte in computing.
Spaces in Binary
Our tool adds a space between each byte (8 bits) by default to make the code readable and easy to follow.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I convert it back later?
Yes! We have a 'Binary to Text' tool specifically designed to decode these strings back into readable language.
Does it support emojis?
While binary technically supports all symbols, standard 8-bit converters focus on ASCII. Emojis may produce multi-byte strings.
