About Binary Encoding
When you type text on a computer, each character is stored as a series of 8 binary digits (bits), also known as a byte. For example, the letter 'H' is stored as 01001000. This binary representation is the fundamental way computers store and process all data, including text, images, and programs.
Output Format Options
- Space-separated (default): Each byte is separated by a space for easier reading (e.g., "01001000 01100101")
- Continuous: All bits are displayed without spaces (e.g., "0100100001100101")
