Writing Hexadecimal Numbers
TIL: we didn’t always use “A-F” to represent 10-15 in hexadecimal numbers.

What are some interesting uses of hexadecimal numbers that you’ve run into? (I’m making content on hexadecimal right now, looking for inspiration)

We didn't always use 0-1 either.
Very fascinating!!
That is interesting, and had to be a pain to keep track of if you went between multiple systems. I wonder what the story is behind each particular set of characters, and how the world finally settled on a standard.
