This provides various ways for encoding/decoding text: binary, hexadecimal, Baudot code and its subsequent encoding systems. The Baudot code was used extensively in telegraph systems. It is a five bit code invented by the frenchman Emile Baudot in 1870. Using five bits allowed 32 different characters. To accomodate all the letters of the alphabet and numerals, two of the 32 combinations were used to select alternate character sets. As you can see, it only allows for a real basic character set-no lower case etc... Each character is preceeded by a start bit, and followed by a stop bit, not shown here. Two 'Baudot codes' are in common usage in the computer industry. The first as used in America. The second, used in Europe, is also termed the CCITT Alphabet No. 2.
This is your encoded or decoded text:
For reference, here is the Baudot table:
