Unicode to Binary Converter
Ever tried explaining binary code to someone and ended up feeling like you’re speaking alien? Or maybe you’ve stumbled upon a Unicode character and wondered, “What’s this doing here?” Don’t worry, we’ve all been there. That’s where the Unicode to Binary Converter comes in to save the day! This nifty little tool takes your Unicode text—whether it’s a quirky emoji, a foreign character, or even your favorite meme phrase—and transforms it into binary code faster than you can say “01010100 01101000 01100001 01101110 01101011 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101!” It’s simple, fun, and perfect for programmers, students, or anyone curious about the magic behind the characters on your screen. Say goodbye to confusion and hello to clarity with just a click!
Convert Unicode text to its binary representation.
How It Works
The Unicode to Binary Converter works by breaking down each character in your input text into its corresponding binary representation. Here’s a simple breakdown of the process:
- Each Unicode character is assigned a unique numerical value (called a code point).
- The tool converts this numerical value into binary, which is a series of 0s and 1s.
- The binary representation is then padded to ensure it’s 16 bits long, making it consistent and easy to read.
For example, the Unicode character for the letter 'A' is 65 in decimal. When converted to binary, it becomes 01000001. Simple, right?
Example Conversions
| Unicode Character | Binary Representation |
|---|---|
| A | 01000001 |
| B | 01000010 |
| 😊 | 11110000 10011111 10011000 10001010 |
| 你好 | 11100110 10000010 10011001 11100101 10100101 10111101 |
| ! | 00100001 |
