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.
