Text to binary FAQ

What encoding does this use?

The converter uses UTF-8 bytes, not a legacy single-byte encoding.

Why are values grouped in sets of eight?

Each UTF-8 byte is shown as one 8-bit binary group.

Does it support symbols and emoji?

Yes. Characters are first encoded to UTF-8, then each byte is shown in binary.
