Binary code represents characters as numbers that computers can understand, with numbers 0 to 127 representing basic English characters. For other languages, additional numbers are used to represent characters beyond the English alphabet. Binary code is how computers convert text into data that they can process and store.

Corey Scothern 1
Binary code is the language that computers
use to read and write information and is
converted into data such as numbers and
letters.
For each character it is represented by
a number. E.g. numbers 0 to 127 all
represent all English characters. They
can contain additional numbers for
other characters from other country’s
E.g. Japanese.
