I'm surprised this article does not even mention one of the most commonly used encoding for integer which is the decimal notation... <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/90.9.199.223|90.9.199.223]] ([[User talk:90.9.199.223#top|talk]]) 12:26, 6 February 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

::This article is about encoding of binary. Decimal, hexadecimal, and all text-representation of a binary in a certain base are encodings (half of the entries of the table). It is not about encoding *of* text, it is about encoding *to* text. The decimal encoding is as relevant as base58. It is a way to represent a binary integer with text characters. Yes we are very used to this representation, so it may seem unnecessary to add it. But the efficiency of the decimal representation can be helpful as a baseline (41.5%). <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/90.9.199.223|90.9.199.223]] ([[User talk:90.9.199.223#top|talk]]) 13:30, 6 February 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
