How can I figure out what my name is in binary?

Question

It's Gabi, but I want to know how to figure out other ones too?

So I can have my name tattooed on myself like this:

Answer 1

I've included a link in the source area. It's a great little web site that lets you convert ascii (plain text) to binary. It turns out my name is "01010100,01101000,01101111,01101101,01100001,01110011" which I thought was kind of cool. Gabi is "01000111,01100001,01100010,01101001".

Answer 2

Figure out the ASCII value for each letter. For example a is 65. Now translate a into binary. The rightmost byte has a value 1 with each one to the left being double the previous one. If the byte is on(1) you add that value to the total. If it is off(0), you skip it. So 'a 'would look like this.
128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1

Answer 3

The computer alphabet is called ASCII and has numeric representations of all the letters A-Z, a-z, 0-9 and punctuation. So i put a link to site that has the binary equivalents - with you can hunt through Your name:
G 01000111
a 01100001
b 01100010
i 01101001

Answer 4

It really is not as easy as ABC, you see it all has something to do with ASCII.

However after a search I have found this useful site > http://nickciske.com/tools/binary.php

However I would get someone to double check the results for you as you do not want something incorrect on your arm for life!

Answer 5

If your into doing it the old fashion way then link below to the ASC II chart and then convert to binary.

Answer 6

There are translators all over the internet.

Here's one that I found:

Hope this helped (:
