SHA-256 text hash

Example
Example: hello
SHA-256 is a fingerprint, not password encryption. Maximum 1,000,000 characters.
How to use this result
Calculate the SHA-256 digest of the exact text encoded as UTF-8. Comparing two digests can help identify whether two text inputs are identical under that encoding.
Worked example
text: hello

Limits and edge cases
The result is 64 lowercase hexadecimal characters. Case, spaces and line breaks affect the digest. This is a text hash, not file hashing, encryption or a password-storage system; a digest alone does not authenticate its source.
