How To Read Text In Binary

tomscott.com - @tomscott - No, seriously. Here's how to read text when all you can see is a bunch of 0s and 1s. It's easier than it seems. I... I think I might have gone off the deep end a bit here.

The thing is, it'd be even cooler if you implemented a randomizer in your alphabet. What I mean is, instead of your alphabet being a=1 b=2 c=3 (etc) you go h=1 q=2 f=3 (etc; continue for all 26 letters.)

[@nokia-gm8gv]

[@mogim815]

@@JonesNate That would be way harder to remember though, and would require either way too much dedication or a decoder; A decoder would take too long to write with, and would probably get discovered by a teacher more easily. Such measures would only need to be implemented if your teacher teaches computer science.

When I worked at a computer museum, the programs stored on paper tape would often begin with "REM " and the name of the program. When someone yeeted the drawer they were all kept in across the room, separating them from their labels, knowing how to read the headers without having to load them into the computer's temperamental mechanism was an extremely useful geek skill!

I used to be fluent in morse as well, and I'd picked it up from a tree chart so when I was in that stage between just learning and having it all memorized I used my hands to guide me down the tree, and people always got a kick out of that. I should pick it back up.

This is because lenny face uses the UTF-8 encoding, an extension of ASCII that adds a bunch of symbols from other languages. UTF-8 is the modern de facto standard for all text. But when you translated it back from binary to text, it was translated to pure ASCII, so it didn't recognise a lot of the symbols.

[@therealquade]

***** After seeing a particular episode of Ghost in the shell, I got an idea, and I made a Binary Font. Each character in the font was a 1-block wide column 9 blocks tall where each block was either filled in black. each character was the same width, and there was no gap between characters, and no overlap. the 9th bit is just the bottom one so that it stayed level instead of wavering both the top and bottom. After doing some test texts with it, I realized that if the font was above 12 point, with a bit of effort, I started to be able to sight-read it. also, you don't need to remember "this combination of digits is this number which corresponds to this letter" you just go "Oh, this symbol is just a replacement for this symbol" which is like R34)1\6 1337 5934< or something it's not difficult as long as you know that a 3 is an E and 6 is a G and < is a K, or 9 is a P, or \ is an N. or in the case of a binary font, knowing that a particular combination of dots is a specific letter. Really it ends up looking like each "character" is a full word, and you recognize full words on sight, rather than letters. and recognizing the shapes of entire words is easier. there's so many words we use again and again. words like and or is if, and words that look like malformed versions of other words, like can and can't, or would and should. it's not nearly as complex as translating numbers to letters with cryptography. its just simple substitution at that point. It also means that if a computer started printing out binary as a grid of dots, you could probably adjust and sight-read it if it contained unicode. Not a totally useless skill. it subverts an internet meme. I CAN read this, It's machine-code!... oh yeah, and its super space efficient on screen or paper. point for point you can fit way more text in one line... like this paragraph is actually only 3 lines in this font at 12 point. youtube is on I *think* an 11 point? yeah. that's space efficient. not totally useless. Oh yeah, and I did this back in 2011. It's up on FontStruct, it's called gitssac. in fact here's a link, I figure you're the type of person to mess around with this kind of thing. fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/gitssac Just... thought i'd share.

[@trackernivrig]

So I think people here would be interested in a code I made using base 5. Use base 5 numbers correlating to each digit: 1 - A 2 - B 3 - C 4 - D 10 - E Etc Next add one to every digit (ignore base 5 rules): 2 - A 3 - B 4 - C 5 - D 21 - E Then make each number correspond to the next letter (A is changed to the number Z was at.) : 212 - A 2 - B 3 - C 4 - D 5 - E 21 - F When writing it, add 0s in front of the numbers to make every number 3 digits (They are written as 1 because there is one added to every digit): 212 - A 112 - B 113 - C 114 - D 115 - E 121 - F You can write spaces as 111 or just have a space. I kept forgetting what I had as the special characters/punctuation so just use the normal ones for English. Here’s something to decode: 123115132132135.

[@theLuigiFan0007Productions]

Actually, ASCII supports Japanese by remapping normally unused symbols to Katakana via Shift_JIS. Characters starting at 10100010 (162) to 11011111 (223) are Japanese Characters. Additionally, anything from 01100001 (97) to 01111010 (122) is the English alphabet lowercase. Make sure to take note of anything from 97 to 122 when decoding a "secret" binary message if it's not all caps. But, this is a very useful video for people with no knowledge of binary for decoding ASCII, nevertheless. :D

A slightly easier way is to memorise the alphabet in hexadecimal so for ASCII letters A-Z are 65-90 and lowercase A-Z are 97-122 so all you need to do is convert each letter into the hexadecimal number then convert that into binary e.g A is 65, 65 in binary is 01000001

[@BradenBest]

Challenge accepted. First, I draw my own mini ASCII table: ...0.1..2..3...4..5...6..7..8..9..A..B..C.D..E..F 4....A.B..C..D..E..F..G..H..I..J..K..L..M.N..O 5.P.Q.R..S..T..U..V..W..X.Y..Z Had to put dots in there to align it since this font isn't monospaced. Then I break the binary into nibbles and convert to hex 0110 6 1110 7*2 14 E 0110 6 1111 F 0111 7 0100 4 0010 2 0000 0 0110 6 0111 7 0110 6 0101 5 0110 6 0101 5 0110 6 1011 3+8 11 B 0111 7 1001 9 0010 2 0000 0 0110 6 0001 1 0111 7 0100 4 0010 2 0000 0 0110 6 0001 1 0110 6 1100 3*4 12 C 0110 6 1100 C I get this: 6E 6F 74 20 67 65 65 6B 79 20 61 74 20 61 6C 6C Break that down into bytes, and use memory to quickly convert obvious ones like 20 (space) 41/61 (A/a) - 45/65 (E/e), and use the mini ASCII table for non-obvious ones. 6E n 6F o 74 t 20 _ 67 g 65 e 65 e 6B k 79 y 20 _ 61 a 74 t 20 _ 61 a 6C l 6C l "not geeky at all" So now I will give you this challenge. I manually encoded this message in octal. 250641413502356310060554330260403146755432671441 And of course, show your work as we (me and ABitOfTheUniverse ) have, no Googling for auto-convert tools. Good luck! Edit: funny thing, I just tested the string out on two different "octal to ascii converters", and it broke both of them! In addition, the octal they came out with when I put the original string in, was broken, so, wondering if I messed up, I manually decoded the string myself, and sure enough, I got exactly the same string that I had originally encoded. So the on line converters are broken!

[@chanceblevins6682]

I would like to point out. That of the whole 1 and 0 are voltage on and voltage off to actuators in a circuit. All the different loads like lights for example go on and off all the time. The same goes for a a computer and its many 100's of processes. The processes of its different functions have to be calculated in a timing. Hence calculations per second but my knowledge of CPU is limited but thats the jist of it

how do you know what numbers to add. is it if the actual binary numbers is a 1?

[@computermaster124816]

+music maker Think of this this way: If I give you "5032" in base 10, you know that is: -1000*5 -100*0 -10*3 -1*2 The same applies in binary. Taking "10010" (I've dropped the leading digits): -16*1 -8*0 -4*0 -2*1 -1*0 Which is 18. The same logic applies to all bases, so now you know how to decode hexadecimal (base 16) and octal (base 8) as well.

[@VoidSixx]

I'm not understanding at all :L I even tried putting "cake" into a binary translator and at 1:47 you can see he has a segment ending in 01011 but none of them do when I translated in with the translator?

[@exitium3572]

Translators use ASCII, not the alphabet

[@GregaMeglic]

Would be nice to know what translator you used. Because "A" is 65 which means 01000001 in binary and "a" is 97 which is 01100001 in binary. Meaning if something ends with 1011 its either 75 or its 107. Both of which are "K" You can check this. Windows has a direct ascii imput method. All you need to do is hold the left alt button and type in a number using the number pad (does not work with the number row abbove the keyboard for some reason) and let go of the alt button. As such youll notice that the ascii of 1 is a white smiley face and the ascii of 2 is a black smiley face (☺☻). Followed by the 4 card suits (♥♦♣♠) and so on. starting with 65 you get the capital letters and the starting at 97 you get the lower case letters. Numbers start at 48 which turns to "0" and end with 57 which translates to a "9"

[@rin_etoware_2989]

minor detail that is probably not enough to warrant a correction: ASCII has seven bits. _Extended_ ASCII has eight. that's why there's a weird zero at the start of every byte in here. for example: in ASCII, 10 00011 | 11 00010 | 11 00001 | 11 10100 while in Extended, 010 00011 | 011 00010 | 011 00001 | 011 10100

[@connormclernon26]

The Adeptus Mechanicus would like to know your location

[@arsims1]

It can also be counted like this, but I know that they coded everything we have in binary, and it is like this. I know it is possible to make also one picture all by binary coding. For example: each color for every pixel is represented by 8 bits--for example dark green is represented as 01010010 (red), 10011010 (green), and 01100110 (blue). The collection of individual pixels and their color values create images. But the tech we have now that does the camera Lense and also the powerful Computer tech Chips. The Computers have only to read and write in binary. The A is 01000001 in binary on the PC's we use now and there can nothing else be in binary with 01000001 except A. When we press one time the space button it is always 00100000 in binary, and it cannot be changed. And like this it goes all to every pixel and letter we read on the screens. I chose 8 the side of the ARCH ANGELS and ANGELS with our ALLAH GOD EL YHWH SHADAI.
