Hi, PB here. Im gonna teach you the basics of ASCII to Binary Translation.
-----------------------------
Well to start, ASCII is 8-bit, making each letter in Binary 8 1s or 0s long. (e.g. 01100010)
The first 3 digits determine case, and the last 5 determine the letter.
Letters ALWAYS start 01
--------------------------
1st off, the case. Upper or lower? One number determines this, and its the 3rd one.
lower case = 011
UPPER CASE = 010
Its that simple.
-----------------------------
Now we've got the case sorted, I'll move onto the important bit. The Letters!
The last 5 digits follow a pattern to determine the letter.
Start with A first, and ill exclude the case digits to simplify it for the time being.
A = 00001
wow.
say A has a value of one, cos it looks like a singular one.
B is the next highest number possible with only 1s and 0s.
Making B ten...
B = 00010
then C, which is eleven...
C = 00011
and so on...
D = 00100 ONE HUNDRED
E = 00101 ONE HUNDRED AND ONE
F = 00110 ONE HUNDRED AND TEN
G = 00111 ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN
H = 01000 ONE THOUSAND
Get It?
It just keeps going like that, next highest possible number only involving 1s and 0s. Until you reach Z.
-----------------------------
Now bring it all together, the 3 case digits stuck to the 5 letter digits to make...
Example
D = 01000100
d = 01100100

Peace d00dz
EDIT: I typo'd what A was, putting me in auto-pilot to make everything else one letter out. Fixed.
