How to use

What encoding does this tool use for binary conversion?

It uses 8-bit ASCII/UTF-8 encoding, giving each character an 8-digit binary representation.

Can I convert a full sentence to binary?

Yes. Each character in the sentence is converted separately and the binary groups are space-separated.

Does binary text work with Unicode characters beyond ASCII?

For basic ASCII (codes 0-127), yes. Extended Unicode characters may need multi-byte encoding which this tool notes.

How do I tell where one letter ends and another begins in binary?

Each letter is exactly 8 bits (one byte), so groups of 8 binary digits represent one ASCII character.
