Frequently asked questions
What is "Hello" in binary?
"Hello" is 01001000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111 in 8-bit binary using UTF-8/ASCII encoding.
Why does an emoji produce 4 bytes?
UTF-8 encodes characters outside the basic range with 2 to 4 bytes. Most emoji use 4 bytes.
Do I need spaces between bytes when decoding?
No. Binary input without spaces is split into 8-bit groups automatically, and hex input is split into pairs.
