What encoding does it use?

It uses UTF-8 encoding, representing each character as 8-bit (or multi-byte) binary values.

Can computers only understand binary?

At the hardware level, yes. All data — text, images, video — is ultimately stored and processed as binary.

Is it just for fun or practical?

Both! It is educational for learning computer science and practical for debugging encoding issues.
