Frequently Asked Questions

See Full FAQBinary encoding converts text characters into their binary representation using 0s and 1s. Each character is represented as 8 bits (1 byte) in UTF-8 encoding.
Binary decoding takes groups of 8 bits and converts them back to their corresponding text characters. The tool automatically handles separators and groups the bits correctly.
Yes, the tool uses UTF-8 encoding which supports Unicode characters. Multi-byte characters will be encoded as multiple 8-bit groups.
Spaces are most common and readable. Use no separator for compact output, or dashes/commas for different formatting needs.
Binary encoding is useful for understanding how computers store data, debugging encoding issues, learning computer science concepts, and working with low-level data formats.
