How to encrypt a character string using SHA256?
SHA256 encryption computes a 256-bit or 32-byte digital fingerprint, Keywords
whose hexadecimal writing consists of 64 characters. The algorithm uses
sha256, sha, 256, hash,
non-linear functions such as:

The purpose of these functions is to maximize the footprint differences,
even for small input string differences.

and SHA256 '(without hyphen) is coded as'

of 64)
How to decrypt SHA256 cipher?
Since SHA256 is a hash based on non-linear functions, there is no
decryption method.
dCode uses word databases whose hash has already been calculated
(several million potential passwords) and checks if the hash is known. If it is
not known or combined with salting the decryption will probably fail.
How to generate a SHA256 hash starting or ending with
0000?

The bits/characters composing a hash are not predictable. It is also a
property used in the concept of proof of work (PoW) used by the
blockchain. The only method to date being to test combinations by brute
force, until finding a particular case that works.
How to recognize SHA256 ciphertext?
The hash is composed of 64 hexadecimal characters 0123456789abcde
f (ie 256 bits)
The SHA256 algorithm is used by blockchain and validation of Bitcoin
transactions, any reference is a clue.
