Frequently asked questions

What is ASCII?

ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a character encoding standard that maps characters to numbers 0-127. It includes English letters (uppercase and lowercase), digits, punctuation, and control characters.

What about characters outside ASCII range?

Characters above 127 (like é, ñ, or emoji) are encoded as their UTF-8 byte values. For example, é (U+00E9) becomes 195 169 in UTF-8. Use the Unicode Encoder for code point representation.

Is my data sent to a server?

No. All conversion happens in your browser. Nothing is transmitted anywhere.
