Interesting History
Origins of Hexadecimal
The hexadecimal system was introduced in the early days of computing. IBM made it popular in 1963 with the IBM 360 series, choosing hex as the standard notation for binary representation.
ASCII Development
The ASCII standard, developed in the 1960s, became fundamental to text-to-hex conversion. It standardized how text characters are represented numerically, making hex encoding consistent across systems.
Modern Evolution
With the advent of Unicode in 1991, text-to-hex conversion evolved to support multiple character encodings and scripts from different languages, becoming essential for international computing.
