About Hexadecimal Encoding:

• Hexadecimal (base-16) is a numerical system using 16 symbols (0-9, A-F)
• Commonly used in computing to represent binary data in a human-readable form
• Each pair of hex digits represents one byte (8 bits) of data

  2. Each hex value is converted to its decimal equivalent
  3. Decimal value is mapped to a character based on the selected encoding
