What is Base16 encoding?
Base16 -- hex -- maps each byte to exactly two characters from a 16-symbol alphabet (0-9, A-F). You see it everywhere: CSS #FF6600 colors, MAC addresses, SHA hashes, memory dumps. RFC 4648 formalized it in 2006, and though it doubles data size compared to Base64, its readability makes it the default for anything humans need to eyeball.
