Looking at those code points helps when text looks identical but behaves differently.
The Text to Unicode tool helps with the mechanical part, but I still check the result before using it somewhere real.</description></item><item><title>How I read text as binary without overthinking it</title><link>https://ilham.dev/posts/how-to-read-text-as-binary-without-overthinking-it/</link><pubDate>Sun, 27 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://ilham.dev/posts/how-to-read-text-as-binary-without-overthinking-it/</guid><description>Text can be represented as bytes, and bytes can be shown as binary.
