How To Read Text In Binary?

Text is just letters and symbols that we can read, but computers only understand binary, which is made up of 0s and 1s.

Imagine you have a special kind of alphabet, one with only two letters: 0 and 1. That’s the binary system! Everything a computer does, from showing pictures to playing music, uses this simple language of 0s and 1s.

When we type on a keyboard, each letter is turned into a number using something called ASCII code (like a secret message). Then that number becomes a group of 8 binary digits, or bits. For example:

• The letter "A" turns into the number 65.
• That number then becomes 01000001 in binary.

So when you see your name on a screen, it's just a long string of 0s and 1s that the computer has turned back into letters for you to read.

Think of it like a special kind of code, just like how pirates use secret messages. If "A" is 01000001 and "B" is 01000010, then "AB" would be 01000001 01000010. The computer just reads the whole thing like a long story, one bit at a time! Text is just letters and symbols that we can read, but computers only understand binary, which is made up of 0s and 1s.
