Questions
Why is each character eight digits?
Each byte is eight bits, and the converter pads every byte to a full eight digits so the output can be read back unambiguously. Characters outside ASCII are encoded as UTF-8 first and therefore produce multiple eight-digit groups.
Can I decode binary that has no separators?
Yes. The decoder strips all whitespace and separators, then reads the remaining digits in groups of eight. The total number of digits must be a multiple of eight.
