Frequently Asked Questions
What is binary?
Binary is a base-2 number system that uses only two digits: 0 and 1. It is the fundamental language of computers — every piece of data stored or processed by a computer is ultimately represented in binary.
How does text-to-binary conversion work?
Each text character has a numeric code (ASCII/Unicode). The converter takes each character's code and converts it to its 8-bit binary representation. For example, 'A' is ASCII code 65, which is 01000001 in binary.
What is ASCII?
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a character encoding standard that assigns numeric values to letters, digits, and symbols. For example, 'A' = 65, 'a' = 97, '0' = 48. It covers 128 characters including control codes.
