ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a character encoding standard using 7 bits to represent 128 characters:
ASCII codes are fundamental in programming, data transmission, and computer science. Converting text to numeric codes helps with debugging, encoding, protocol analysis, and understanding how computers store text.
Decimal (base-10) is human-readable. Hexadecimal (base-16) is compact and common in programming. Binary (base-2) shows actual bit patterns. Octal (base-8) was used in early computing.
Standard ASCII covers 0โ127 (7-bit). Extended ASCII uses 128โ255 (8-bit). Unicode extends far beyond, covering emojis, CJK characters, and more โ this tool handles the full Unicode range.
'A' = 65, 'a' = 97, '0' = 48, Space = 32, Newline = 10. The difference between uppercase and lowercase is always 32 โ a classic computer science trick.
