What the Text to ASCII/Unicode Tool Does and Why It Matters
The Text to ASCII/Unicode tool converts your text into numeric and encoded representations — ASCII codes, binary, hexadecimal, Base64, and Unicode code points — directly in your browser. It exposes the underlying values behind the characters you see.
This matters for developers, students, and anyone debugging encoding issues: seeing the exact code points reveals invisible characters, confirms how text is stored, and helps when a system expects a specific representation like hex or Base64.
How to Use Text to ASCII/Unicode
Type or paste your text into the input.
Choose the representation you want (ASCII codes, binary, hex, Base64, or Unicode code points).
Run the conversion to see the encoded output.
Copy the result for use in code or another tool.
Supported Inputs and Limitations
What you provide
Any text to convert
A target representation (ASCII, binary, hex, Base64, or Unicode)
What you get
The text expressed as numeric codes or an encoded string
Copy-ready output
Known limitations
ASCII codes only cover basic characters; non-ASCII characters are better shown as Unicode code points.
Base64 represents bytes, so multibyte characters expand according to their UTF-8 encoding.
It converts representations; it is not an encryption tool.
Privacy and Security
All conversion runs in your browser. Your text is processed on your device and is never sent to NovaTools or any external service.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between ASCII and Unicode code points?
ASCII covers basic English characters with small numbers; Unicode code points identify any character, including emoji and non-Latin scripts.
Is Base64 encryption?
No. Base64 is an encoding that represents bytes as text; it is reversible and provides no security.
Is my text uploaded?
No. Conversion is local and the text never leaves your browser.
Our free Text to ASCII/Unicode Converter transforms text into multiple encoding formats commonly used in programming, data transmission, and character encoding. Get instant conversions to ASCII codes, binary, hexadecimal, Base64, and Unicode code points.

Format Descriptions
ASCII Codes: American Standard Code for Information Interchange. Each character is represented by a number from 0 to 127. Binary: Base-2 representation using only 0s and 1s. Each ASCII character is represented by 8 bits (1 byte). Hexadecimal: Base-16 representation using digits 0-9 and letters A-F. More compact than binary for representing bytes. Base64: Binary-to-text encoding that represents binary data in ASCII string format. Commonly used in URLs, email, and data URIs. Unicode: Universal character encoding standard that supports virtually all writing systems and symbols.
Common Use Cases
Programming: Convert characters to their numeric values for low-level programming. Data Encoding: Encode binary data as text for transmission over text-only channels. Debugging: Inspect character codes to diagnose encoding issues. Learning: Understand how computers represent text at the fundamental level. Security: Encode data in various formats for obfuscation or compatibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my text sent to a server?
No. All conversions happen entirely within your browser using JavaScript. Your text is never transmitted to our servers or stored anywhere.
What's the difference between ASCII and Unicode?
ASCII supports 128 characters (English letters, digits, basic punctuation). Unicode supports over 140,000 characters including all world languages, symbols, and emoji.
Why does binary use 8 bits per character?
A byte (8 bits) is the standard unit of digital information. With 8 bits, you can represent 256 different values (0-255), which covers extended ASCII.
What is Base64 used for?
Base64 encodes binary data as ASCII text, making it safe to transmit through systems that only handle text (like email or URLs). It's commonly used for embedding images in CSS/HTML.
Does this work with emoji?
Yes! Emoji and all Unicode characters are fully supported. They will show their proper Unicode code points and UTF-8 encoded values.
