Bun implements the Web-standard TextDecoder class for converting from binary data types like Uint8Array and strings.

const arr = new Uint8Array([104, 101, 108, 108, 111]);
const decoder = new TextDecoder();
const str = decoder.decode(arr);
// => "hello"

See Docs > API > Binary Data for complete documentation on manipulating binary data with Bun.
