Frequently asked questions
The result is garbled. What went wrong?
Usually the groups are not multiples of eight digits, or a digit was lost when copying. Check that every group has exactly eight digits.
Can it decode non-English characters?
Characters outside basic ASCII use several bytes each. Include all the groups for a character and they will be decoded together.
