Kako koristiti Binary text translator
Binary Text Translator converts text into binary, writing each UTF-8 byte as a group of eight 0s and 1s separated by spaces. Accented letters and emoji take more than one byte, so they produce several groups. Turn on Decode to text to convert binary back, using either space-separated bytes or one continuous string whose length is a multiple of 8.

Česta pitanja
Why does one letter turn into several bytes of binary?
The translator encodes text as UTF-8. Basic Latin letters, digits and punctuation take one byte, but letters like é use two bytes and most emoji use four, so each produces several eight-bit groups.
How do I convert binary to text?
Enable Decode to text and paste the bits, either as eight-bit groups separated by spaces, such as 01001000 01101001, or as one unbroken string. The bytes are decoded as UTF-8, so that example gives Hi.
Why do I get an error that the bytes are not valid UTF-8?
Decoding is strict, so the byte sequence must form valid UTF-8 characters. A missing or extra byte inside a multi-byte character, or bits copied from another encoding, causes this error. Each group must also be exactly eight bits.
