ASCII text encoding uses fixed 1 byte for each character.

UTF-8 text encoding uses variable number of bytes for each character. This requires delimiter between each binary number.

How to Convert Binary to Text

Convert binary ASCII code to text:

  1. Get binary byte
  2. Convert binary byte to decimal
  3. Get character of ASCII code from ASCII table
  4. Continue with next byte

Example

Convert "01010000 01101100 01100001 01101110 01110100 00100000 01110100 01110010 01100101 01100101 01110011" binary ASCII code to text:

Solution:

Use ASCII table to get character from ASCII code.

010100002 = 26+24 = 64+16 = 80 => "P"

011011002 = 26+25+23+22 = 64+32+8+4 = 108 => "l"

011000012 = 26+25+20 = 64+32+1 = 97 => "a"

⁝

For all the binary bytes you should get the text:

"Plant trees"
