Fun Fact
The word ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. It was originally designed in the 1960s to allow computers from different manufacturers to communicate using a common character encoding system.
Historical Context of This Tool
Converting text to numerical bases has been fundamental to computing since the earliest digital systems. Binary and hexadecimal encoding became essential as computers internally represent all data as numbers. Tools like this bring those classic computing concepts to modern users in an accessible way, enabling anyone to experiment with how characters are stored and transmitted digitally.
