Understanding Text to Decimal Conversion

Our Text to Decimal Converter is a straightforward tool that reveals the numeric foundation of digital text. Every character on your screen, from letters and numbers to symbols and emojis, is represented by a unique number in the computer's memory. This tool takes your text and converts each character into its corresponding decimal (base-10) value according to standards like ASCII and Unicode. This process is fundamental to understanding how computers handle and process text data.

This converter is especially useful for programmers who need to work with character codes, students learning about data representation, and anyone curious about the inner workings of digital information. It provides a clear, immediate look at the decimal values that form the words you write.

This standard assigns a unique number from 0 to 127 to each English letter, digit, and common symbol.

How do you convert a string to a decimal number?

If you mean converting a string of text (like 'Hello') to decimal values, you convert each character to its ASCII/Unicode decimal code. If you mean converting a string of digits (like '123') to a number, programming languages have built-in functions like parseInt() or Number() to do this. This tool focuses on the first case, converting each character to its code.

What is "Hello" in decimal?

The text 'Hello' converted to decimal ASCII values is 72 101 108 108 111. Each number represents one character: 72 = 'H', 101 = 'e', 108 = 'l', 108 = 'l', and 111 = 'o'.
