How to convert text to ASCII?
Converting text to ASCII can refer to two distinct processes: ASCII codes (numerical values) or ASCII art (visual representations). Here's how to do both:
1. Convert Text to ASCII Codes (Numerical Values)
Manual Method:
Use an ASCII table to look up the decimal, hex, or binary value for each character.
Example: A → 65 (decimal), 41 (hex).
Programming (Python):
python
text = "Hello" ascii_codes = [ord(char) for char in text] print(ascii_codes) # Output: [72, 101, 108, 108, 111]
Online Tools:
Use free converters like RapidTables or CodeBeautify.
2. Convert Text to ASCII Art (Visual Style)
Online Generators:
Visit tools like Patorjk, ASCII Art Generator.
Type your text.
Choose a font style (e.g., Block, Bubble).
Copy the generated art.
Command Line (Linux):
Use figlet or toilet:
bash
sudo apt install figlet toilet figlet "Hello"
Manual Creation:
Design characters using keyboard symbols in a text editor, e.g.:
text
_ _ | | | | | |__| | | __ | |_| |_|
Key Notes:
ASCII Codes represent letters as numbers (1 byte per character).
ASCII Art uses symbols to create large, stylized text visuals.
Extended ASCII (beyond 127) varies by encoding (e.g., ISO-8859-1). For Unicode characters, use UTF-8 encoding instead.
