How it's used
Technical terminology in Hong Kong often blends English loanwords with Chinese characters. While 十六進位 is the standard term, many programmers and engineers simply use the English word "hex" in conversation to save time and avoid ambiguity. It is common to hear people say "轉做 hex" instead of the full Chinese term.
Examples
This program needs to be written in hexadecimal.
