Text to binary

UTF-8 encoding: each byte appears as eight bits.

Enter text; output is a long string of bits with spaces between bytes.

Text
Binary

How it works

Text is encoded to UTF-8 bytes using the standard Unicode mapping.

Each byte is written as eight bits, MSB first, bytes separated by spaces.

Use cases

Teaching, low-level debugging, or comparing UTF-8 representations.

Size

Very large inputs produce very long outputs.

Common questions

Unicode?
Characters that use multiple bytes produce multiple groups of eight bits.
Little-endian?
Bits are shown in the usual MSB-first order per byte.
Reverse tool?
Use Binary to text with the same bit pattern.
Offline?
Yes.
