Leveraging Unicode Code Points and Conversion Methods

Using String’s Character Codes and Bitwise Operators

Approach 3: Employing TextEncoder and Byte Conversion

Obtaining Code Points: We’ll traverse through each character within the input string and employ the codePointAt(0) method to fetch its corresponding Unicode code point.
Binary Conversion: Similar to the preceding method, we’ll translate the Unicode code point into binary form using the toString(2) method.
Padding and Grouping: As previously discussed, we’ll ensure the binary values are 8 bits long by adding padding, and then consolidate them with spaces.

Example: This example shows the use of the above-explained approach.

Javascript

function convertToBinaryApproach2(input) {
    let binaryResult = '';

    for (const char of input) {
        const codePoint = char.codePointAt(0);
        const binaryValue = codePoint.toString(2);
        binaryResult += 
            binaryValue.padStart(8, '0') + ' ';
    }

    return binaryResult.trim();
}

const inputString = "GFG";
const binaryRepresentation = 
      convertToBinaryApproach2(inputString);
console.log(binaryRepresentation);

Output

01000111 01000110 01000111
