String to Binary Converter

Every character has a numeric code point behind it — 'C' is 67, 'o' is 111, and so on for ASCII text. This tool converts each character in the string to its numeric value, then writes that value out as an 8-bit binary byte, joined with spaces so each character's byte is easy to pick out.

Where this comes up

• Creating a binary-encoded message for a puzzle, gift, tattoo or novelty design
• Learning exercises on character encoding and how text maps to binary at the byte level
• Preparing test input for a program that expects binary-encoded text
