Ascii converter
Ascii converter shows decimal byte codes for text and converts space-separated codes back to characters. Learn how accented letters can use several byte values.
Ascii converter helps you explore the decimal byte codes behind a short text sample, with a reverse option for space-separated numeric values. Start with a representative sample of your actual task. Read the form labels and the returned value before replacing text, a link, or a code fragment that is already in use.
How to use Ascii converter
- Enter text or numeric byte values.
- Choose the required direction.
- Select Submit and compare each group.
Worked example
Hi produces the values 72 and 105. In reverse mode, the space-separated input 72 105 reconstructs those two letters.
Limits and checks
The implementation works byte by byte. A Romanian letter in UTF-8 can occupy multiple bytes; its codes are not one complete Unicode character number.
Frequently asked questions
Is this encryption?
No. This changes a representation rather than protecting a secret. Someone who knows the format can interpret or decode the data. Keep the group boundaries when comparing values.
Why can an accented letter produce several numbers?
The implementation reads bytes. UTF-8 may represent one visible letter with multiple bytes, so do not compare these groups with a Unicode code-point table as though they were identical.
