Skip to main contentCharacter encodings on CipherInspector fall into two categories: data and display.
Data encodings
Data encodings are character encodings that are typically used to store byte streams.
For all data encodings, the data is first decoded to a Uint8Array and then converted to
a string, thus producing a Latin-1 (ISO/IEC 8859-1) string (8-bit “extended” ASCII table). This
step takes precedence over any other ciphertext settings.
Supported data encoding types:
Display encodings
Display encodings are character encodings that are already in display text format.
Display encodings are
not decoded before analysis and are analyzed as-is.
Supported display encoding types:
