About Hexadecimal Encoding:

• Hexadecimal (base-16) is a numerical system using 16 symbols (0-9, A-F)
• Each character in your text is converted to its hexadecimal byte representation
• Different output formats:
  • Spaced: Each byte separated by space (48 65 6C 6C 6F)
  • Continuous: All bytes concatenated (48656C6C6F)
  • Prefixed: Each byte prefixed with 0x (0x48 0x65 0x6C 0x6C 0x6F)
  • Escape Sequences: C-style hex escapes (\x48\x65\x6C\x6C\x6F)
• Encoding options:
  • UTF-8: Variable-width character encoding (1-4 bytes per character)
  • UTF-16: Fixed-width encoding (2 or 4 bytes per character)
  • ASCII: 7-bit encoding (1 byte per character, values 0-127)
• Hexadecimal representation is commonly used in programming, debugging, and data analysis
