Foundational Knowledge

How Characters Become Hexadecimal

Computers store characters as byte sequences like UTF-8, and the hexadecimal representation of a character is each byte written as 2 hexadecimal digits. For example, the character "あ" becomes 3 bytes in UTF-8: E3 81 82.

Meaning of Prefixes like 0x and %

Even though they represent the same hexadecimal number, conventions differ depending on context: 0xE3 in programming, %E3 in URL encoding. The underlying byte sequence is identical; only the notation differs.
