WebToolArcByte representation is separated from Unicode text
The review reports exact UTF-8 bytes, strict decode status, BOM presence and round-trip behavior so hex/decimal/binary notation is not confused with Unicode code-point notation.

Text Encoding & Byte Tools
Text to Binary Converter
Encode text locally with UTF-8, preserving multibyte characters such as accents, CJK text, and emoji rather than assuming ASCII.
—UTF-8 bytes
—Code points
ReadyOutput represents UTF-8 bytes in binary notation.
These tools operate on bytes and Unicode text locally. “Text to hex/binary/decimal” means the UTF-8 encoding of the text, not the numeric Unicode code point unless a tool explicitly says code point.
Binary round-trip converter
Keep the quick UTF-8 converter above. Use this panel when you need to encode or decode, choose an explicit byte encoding, or prove that copied binary returns to the same text.
—Bytes
—Bits
—Round trip

Binary encoding boundaries
Binary represents encoded bytes, not abstract characters
The same visible text can produce different byte sequences under UTF-8, ASCII, and UTF-16. Keep the selected encoding with copied binary data so another tool can reverse it correctly.
Byte boundaries matter when decoding
A stream of 0s and 1s must be grouped into complete bytes before it can be interpreted. The round-trip panel accepts spaced, continuous, or line-separated 8-bit groups and rejects incomplete binary instead of guessing missing bits.
ASCII is intentionally limited
ASCII covers only code points 0–127. Accented letters, CJK text, emoji, and most modern symbols require Unicode encoding. Use UTF-8 for general interchange unless a protocol explicitly requires another encoding.
Endianness matters for UTF-16
UTF-16LE and UTF-16BE contain the same 16-bit code units in opposite byte order. A binary stream without a BOM or an agreed external encoding label can therefore decode differently. Preserve the chosen endian setting with exported binary and use the round trip to confirm the receiving system expects the same order.
