They use 0-9, A-F, and a-f. Hex is used mostly by programmers, mostly for computing, and mostly in programming languages that have the digits and Latin letters built-in, and that's what compilers expect to see. Hex doesn't have an independent existence out in non-computing culture for, e.g., signs in the market place or monetary values. Rick
