π Understanding Binary Conversion
What is Binary? Binary is a base-2 number system using only 0s and 1s. Computers use binary because it represents electrical states: 0 (off) and 1 (on).
How Text Converts to Binary:
- Each character gets a unique number (ASCII code)
- The number converts to 8-bit binary (e.g., 'A' = 65 = 01000001)
- Multiple characters create longer binary strings
Encoding Standards:
- ASCII: 7-bit encoding for basic English characters (0-127)
- UTF-8: Variable-length encoding supporting all Unicode characters
- Unicode: Universal character set for global languages
