Does one character always equal one byte?

No. UTF-8 characters may require multiple bytes, especially accented text, non-Latin scripts, and emoji.

Q: What happens to invalid UTF-8?

The tool reports a validation error instead of silently replacing bytes.

What is hexadecimal?

Hexadecimal writes each byte as two base-16 digits from 00 through FF. It is compact, aligns cleanly with binary data, and appears in protocols, debugging, hashes, and file formats.

Hex to ASCII and UTF-8

ASCII covers a small single-byte character set. Modern text commonly uses UTF-8, where accented characters, non-Latin scripts, and emoji may occupy several bytes.

How bytes map to hex

The byte table reports offsets, exact hexadecimal and decimal values, and safe labels for control bytes rather than rendering control characters directly.

Frequently asked questions
