How binary text works
Computers store each character as a number. In ASCII and UTF-8, “A” is 65 = 01000001 in 8-bit binary. Letters outside basic English (é, 😀) use 2–4 bytes in UTF-8. To decode by hand, split the binary into 8-bit groups, convert each to a decimal number and look it up in an ASCII table.
