Fun Fact
UTF-8 is capable of representing more than a million unique characters, while numeric base systems are limited only by the number of symbols you define. This tool bridges the gap between mathematical encoding and human language.
Historical Context
Number systems have been used for thousands of years, from ancient Babylonian base-60 mathematics to modern binary computing. As digital systems evolved, different bases became popular for various tasks, such as hexadecimal for programming and base64 for data transfer. UTF-8 emerged in the 1990s as a universal character encoding standard, enabling global text representation. This tool combines both concepts, allowing data stored in arbitrary numeric bases to be translated back into meaningful UTF-8 text.
