Convert Unicode to Binary

This tool converts any Unicode text into its raw binary form showing each UTF-8 byte in 8-bit binary like 01101000. It’s perfect for debugging, learning how characters are encoded, or viewing the true structure behind text.

Paste your input above or import a file below.
No file chosen
Supported file types: .txt, .log, .csv
Total bytes: 0

How to Use:

  1. Paste or type Unicode text into the input box
  2. Output updates live in binary byte format
  3. Each byte is shown as 8 binary digits
  4. You can import .txt, .log, or .csv files
  5. Copy or export the binary representation

What It Does:

  • Uses TextEncoder().encode() to get UTF-8 byte values
  • Converts each byte to a binary 0bXXXXXXXX format (space-separated)
  • Shows accurate binary layout for each character

Example:

Input:

A🌍

Output:

01000001 11110000 10011111 10001100 10001101

Common Use Cases:

Use this tool for binary encoding inspection, debugging, storage conversion, learning how Unicode works at the byte level, and converting scripts or emoji to raw binary format. Great for students, developers, and reverse engineering.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

When you’re converting to binary, Add a Prefix to Text Lines makes it easy to label or tag each value for clarity. And if you need to break things up first, Split Text helps separate long input into smaller chunks to work with.
