What is Binary ASCII?
Binary representation of text uses the ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) encoding. Each character is represented by an 8-bit binary number (a byte), allowing computers to store and transmit text data.
For example, the letter 'A' is represented as 01000001 in binary, which equals 65 in decimal. This system allows computers to represent all keyboard characters using just 0s and 1s.
Common ASCII Values
| Character | Decimal | Binary |
|---|---|---|
| A | 65 | 01000001 |
| B | 66 | 01000010 |
| a | 97 | 01100001 |
| 0 | 48 | 00110000 |
| 1 | 49 | 00110001 |
Use Cases
