Since this isn't a bug but rather discussion I am closing this bug

I don't understand your question. The 'sha256sum' program will read
data and compute the checksum. Input data is always raw input data
regardless of how it is logically structured.
$ printf "abc" | od -tx1 -c
0000000 61 62 63
a b c
$ printf "abc" | sha256sum
