# `sha512` Function
`sha512` computes the SHA512 hash of a given string and encodes it with
hexadecimal digits.
The given string is first encoded as UTF-8 and then the SHA512 algorithm is applied
as defined in [RFC 4634](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4634). The raw hash is
then encoded to lowercase hexadecimal digits before returning.
## Examples
```
> sha512("hello world")

```
## Related Functions
* [`filesha512`](../../language/functions/filesha512.mdx) calculates the same hash from
the contents of a file rather than from a string value.
* [`base64sha512`](../../language/functions/base64sha512.mdx) calculates the same hash but returns
the result in a more-compact Base64 encoding.
