What is Binary Code?
Computers do not natively understand English letters. At the lowest hardware level, CPUs only process two states: ON and OFF. These states are represented mathematically using the Base-2 Numeral System, utilizing only the digits 1 and 0.
How Text is Translated
When you type "Hello", the system references an encoding dictionary (like ASCII or UTF-8). Each character is assigned a unique decimal number. For example, a capital 'H' is mapping number 72.
The system then calculates the binary array representing 72. (64 + 8 = 72). Therefore, 'H' becomes 01001000.
8-bit Padding
Our tool strictly outputs 8-bit padded bytes. This means even if a character could be represented by simply "10", it receives leading zeroes (00000010) to maintain standard digital storage alignment.
