title: Java code or lib to decode a binary-coded decimal (BCD) from a String
body: <p>I have a string consisting of 1's ('\u0031') and 0's('\u0030') that represents a BCD value.</p>
  
  <p>Specifically, the string is 112 characters worth of 1's and 0's and I need to extract either 8 or 16 of these at a time and decode them from BCD to decimal.</p>
  
  <p>Ideas? Packages? Libs? Code? All is welcome.</p>
