-This codec rotates N bits using the `>>` (to the right) and `<<` (to the left) operations.
+This codec rotates of N bits each byte of an input string.
+
+!!! note "Lossless"
+    
+    This codec does not use the "`<<`" and "`>>`" operators as it is lossy in some cases. Instead, it rotates per group of 8 bits.
