What's this? Is it 4 ASCII bytes stuck together? What encoding has been used?

First want to convert these bits to corresponding characters and then have to find ascii of the same.

... corresponding to what? I think converting these "bits" to the corresponding chars is the whole story. But what about the original format?

Guessing mode on ... does this help?

String input = "...";

StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();

for (int i = 0;i < input.length();i += 8) {

result.append((char) Integer.parseInt(input.substring(i, i + 8), 2));

}

System.out.println(result);
