 "123"  is a string of characters. 3 x 16-bit unicodes.  int i=123 is
stored internally as 32-bit binary at run-time as is new Integer( 123
) in a protective object wrapper.

Perhaps it is my age, but it is a long standing tradition to refer
call the process as "converting character/a/alpha/ascii to binary".

Number is a general term that includes byte, int, float, double,
packed decimal, fixed length char numerics. (Think COBOL PL/I).  In
Java, Number is an abstract class with ten implementations.
