About text to binary converter
Computers store text as numbers, and numbers as binary. This converter shows the bytes behind your text in binary, using UTF-8 so that Hindi, accented letters and emoji work as well.
How it works
- English letters take one byte (8 bits). 'A' is 01000001.
- Devanagari and Gujarati letters take three bytes each in UTF-8.
- Most emoji take four bytes.
Reading the output
Each group of eight 0s and 1s is one byte. Keep the groups separated by spaces so they can be converted back correctly.
A worked example
The word 'Hi' is two bytes. H is 72, which is 01001000, and i is 105, which is 01101001. So 'Hi' becomes 01001000 01101001. A Hindi letter such as क takes three bytes in UTF-8, so it shows 24 bits.
Why it is useful
Learning how computers store text, debugging encoding problems, and creating simple puzzles or messages in binary.
