UTF-16 representation of arbitrarily long binary string Question: I have binary strings and want to store them as compactly (in terms of disk space) as possible. They can be between 1 and ~1000 bits of the form ‘011010010110100110010101’. Storing these as "TEXT" is wasteful. I’d like to retrieve and convert them back to the original …
What is this hexadecimal in the utf16 format?
