Binary Text Converter

Convert readable Unicode text into its UTF-8 binary bytes, or decode groups of eight binary digits back into UTF-8 text. This is useful for learning how characters are stored and troubleshooting encoded data.

How the conversion works

Each character is first encoded as UTF-8. ASCII characters use one byte, while accented letters, symbols, and emoji may use two, three, or four bytes. Binary input must contain complete eight-bit bytes separated by spaces or line breaks.
