Binary Code Encoder & Decoder
Binary code is the fundamental language of computers, representing all data using only two symbols: 0 (off) and 1 (on). This tool translates human-readable text into its binary equivalent based on ASCII (for English) or UTF-8 (for international symbols/emojis). For example, the letter 'A' is stored as '01000001'. It's a perfect tool for educational purposes to visualize the bits and bytes behind digital text.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it 8 bits per character?
A group of 8 bits is called a 'Byte'. Standard ASCII uses 7 bits (stored in a byte), while modern UTF-8 uses 1 to 4 bytes per character depending on complexity (like emojis).
Can I convert numbers to binary math here?
This tool encodes the *text characters* of numbers (ASCII), not the mathematical value. e.g., inputting '5' gives the text code for the character '5' (00110101), not the number (101).
What is UTF-8 support?
It means you can decode emojis or foreign languages! For example, the 😊 emoji requires 4 bytes (32 bits) of binary data to represent: 11110000 10011111 10011000 10001010.
