Frequently Asked Questions
What is binary code?
Binary code is a system that uses only two digits — 0 and 1 — to represent data. Computers use binary because electronic circuits have two states: on (1) and off (0). Each character in text is represented by 8 binary digits (1 byte).
What does 01001000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111 mean?
It means "Hello". Each 8-bit group maps to one letter: 01001000=H, 01100101=e, 01101100=l, 01101100=l, 01101111=o. This is the most famous binary phrase.
How many bits per character?
Standard ASCII uses 8 bits (1 byte) per character — covering 256 possible values (0–255). Extended Unicode characters may use more bytes (UTF-8 uses 1–4 bytes per character for international text).
What is the binary for space?
A space character (ASCII 32) in binary is 00100000. When converting sentences, spaces appear as 00100000 between word groups.
What is the difference between binary and hexadecimal?
Binary uses base-2 (only 0 and 1). Hexadecimal uses base-16 (0–9 and A–F). Programmers often use hex as a shorthand for binary — each hex digit represents exactly 4 binary bits. Example: 01001000 binary = 48 hex = 72 decimal = 'H'.
Can I convert binary to numbers too?
Yes — binary can represent both text (via ASCII) and numbers. Binary 00000001=1, 00000010=2, 00000100=4, 00001000=8, etc. This translator is for text (ASCII) conversion. For binary-to-number, each bit position is a power of 2.
