Frequently Asked Questions

What format should hex input be in?

Enter hex codes as pairs of characters. You can use "48656C6C6F" or "48 65 6C 6C 6F" - both decode to "Hello". Spaces are optional but make the input easier to verify.

What are the hex codes for common characters?

Common codes: A-Z = 41-5A, a-z = 61-7A, 0-9 = 30-39, space = 20, newline = 0A, tab = 09. These are standard ASCII values in hexadecimal.

Can I decode hex from programming languages?

Yes! Remove language-specific prefixes first: x from Python/C, 0x from JavaScript, and convert. For example, x48x69 becomes 48 69, which decodes to "Hi".
