The heart pattern isn't symmetric, could the masked-out bits make a message? [[Special:Contributions/141.101.64.29|141.101.64.29]] 17:11, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

The l's and 0's in the binary translation make the code: 10101010011010010, which if you remove either the first or the last digit and convert to text make either, ªi OR TÒ which isn't very helpful. {{unsigned|‎LostFire}}

On the 'o's and 'O's - Converting 011001110010111 from binary to decimal gives 13207. Googling that number only gives hits about Syracuse. Does anyone know if there's a connection there? [[Special:Contributions/141.101.89.205|141.101.89.205]] 01:04, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

Some of the o's in love are capitalized and some of the o's in you are capitalized but no other letter in any other position has mixed capitalization.  If you take a lower case o to be a 0 and a capital o to be a 1, that gives you the string of binary digits: 011001110010111.  Unfortunately that is 15 bits, not 16 so not quite enough for two letters, but apparently the first 8 bits are "g".  If we append a 0 to the last 7 bits, it becomes "g.", if we use a 1 it becomes "g/".  Neither seems likely to be anything that i can tell.  in hex, those 15 digits become 0x3397.  Appending a 0 it's 0x672E and appending a 1 it's 0x672F.  Negating the bits (in case 1's and 0's were reversed) didn't seem to help either unfortunately.  I think there is more to the o and O's but not sure what it is :P

: It could be the start of 'g*d'... [[Special:Contributions/141.101.76.16|141.101.76.16]] 16:46, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
 
: Since letters in ASCII only really use the last 5 bits, I tried splitting that into 3 sections of 5 bits then prefixing each section with '010' or '011' leads to either <code>L\W</code> or <code>l|w</code>. Doing the same with the negated version results in 'SCH' or 'sch'. Doesn't really seem like much to me, but it tickles the "potentially meaningful" spot in my brain... maybe someone else sees something?

Somehow despite the comments above, I found this one sweet that Randall drew this. i<3u.Boeing-787lover 07:36, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
 
 
using the following tools for binary translation https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/number/binary-to-ascii.html and https://dnschecker.org/binary-to-text-translator.php after deleting the spaces between the numbers, it is a repeating pattern of "I love you" with some o's capital and some not
