About Hexadecimal Encoding
Hexadecimal (base-16) is a number system that uses 16 symbols: 0-9 and A-F. It's more compact than binary, with each hex digit representing 4 bits. Text is commonly represented in hex format where each character is encoded as two hex digits. For example, 'H' is 48 in hex, and 'e' is 65.
