Frequently asked questions
›Is there a size limit?
No practical one: numbers are handled as BigInt, so 64-bit values, hashes or 256-bit keys convert exactly, without the precision loss of regular JavaScript numbers.
›Can I paste numbers with a prefix like 0xFF?
Yes. 0x, 0b and 0o prefixes are recognised in any field and the value is moved to the right base. Underscores and spaces used as separators are ignored.
›How is text converted to binary?
The text is encoded as UTF-8 and every byte is written in the chosen base, so an accent or an emoji takes two to four bytes.
