Frequently asked questions
Why three digits per byte?
A byte ranges from 0 to 255, which is 000 to 377 in octal — at most three digits. Padding to three keeps the values aligned and easy to split apart again.
Where is octal used?
Octal appears in Unix file permissions (like 755), in some escape sequences, and in older computing contexts.
Can I decode it?
Yes. The Octal to Text converter turns these values back into characters.
