What it accepts
Pairs of hex digits (0–9, A–F, in either case), separated by spaces, commas, colons, new lines or nothing. Common prefixes are understood and ignored: 0x48,0x65, \x48\x65 and %48%65 all work. The bytes are decoded as UTF-8, so C3 A9 becomes é; if they aren't valid UTF-8, they are read as Latin-1 and the tool says so.
Invalid characters are reported with their position, such as character 7, so you can fix them quickly.
