Text to Binary: Why “Hi” Is 01001000 01101001

September 12, 2026

Every character in your message maps to a number and every number has a binary form. “Hi” is two bytes, H lifted to 01001000, i to 01101001, and the whole message is just those bytes joined in sequence.

Convert regular text into space-separated 8-bit binary bytes. It is the decoder ring for how computers store the alphabet, and the demo that makes the encoding visible instead of abstract.

Try it now: open the free tool, runs 100{ddff9936f8333f09603555df7bd6492034f3a4a35de784276d3cf3d66166a113} in your browser.

Bottom line: encode for fun or protocol, keep the spaces so the bytes read.
