FAQs
1. What is ASCII?
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a character encoding standard used in computers and communication systems. Each character is mapped to a specific numerical value, ranging from 0 to 127 in the original ASCII set.
2. What does this tool do exactly?
This tool converts each character of your input text into its corresponding ASCII decimal value. For example, the letter "A" becomes 65, and a space becomes 32.
3. Can I use this tool to convert emojis or non-English characters?
ASCII supports only characters in the 0–127 range, which includes English letters, digits, punctuation, and control characters. Emojis and non-English characters fall outside this and may be skipped or flagged in the output.
4. Is the output format decimal or hexadecimal?
By default, this tool outputs ASCII values in decimal format. Future updates may include a toggle between decimal and hex.
5. Can I convert an entire paragraph at once?
Yes. You can paste in long-form text, up to 10,000 characters, and the tool will process every character instantly.
6. What are common ASCII values I should know?
Some examples:
-
A–Z = 65–90
-
a–z = 97–122
-
0–9 = 48–57
-
Space = 32
-
Newline = 10
-
Tab = 9
7. Why would a developer use ASCII conversion?
ASCII conversion is useful in low-level programming, socket communication, and text file encoding. It allows developers to inspect or manipulate string values byte by byte.
8. Is this tool safe for private data?
Yes. Everything runs locally in your browser. No data is sent to any server, stored, or shared.
9. Does this tool support ASCII control characters?
Yes, it converts them numerically (e.g., newline = 10, tab = 9), though they may not be visibly rendered in output unless highlighted separately.
10. What happens to unsupported characters?
Characters outside the ASCII range (e.g., emojis, accented letters, Asian characters) will either be ignored or shown with a fallback placeholder, depending on your browser’s Unicode support.
11. Can I copy the ASCII code output?
Absolutely. Just click the copy button to grab the entire output in one click and paste it wherever needed.
12. What’s the difference between ASCII and Unicode?
ASCII is a 7-bit character set for basic English characters. Unicode is a broader character encoding system that includes support for symbols, emojis, and scripts from all global languages.
13. Does this tool work offline?
Yes. Since it's a client-side tool, it will work even without an internet connection after the first load.
14. Can I integrate this functionality in my own app?
Yes, you can implement ASCII conversion using JavaScript’s charCodeAt() method for each character in a string, which this tool uses behind the scenes.
15. Is the ASCII output editable?
No. The output is generated and displayed for reference. If you want to modify it, copy the text and edit it in your preferred editor.
