I always used 80085 instead of 60065.

I've never seen 60065 used for this before. I thought it was a typo...

Looks like it just works because of OPs particular calculator. Most would add the bar across the top of the 6 and it wouldn't look like a lower case b.

Huh because of the shadow at the top I thought there was a bar on top of the "b"s. Didn't notice there wasn't until I read your comment

For some reason I assumed a bunch of Reddit calculator nerds would also know what hexadecimal is. Thanks for giving the explanation.

Not just space saving, but also convenient to read when dealing with bytes because a byte is exactly two characters.

I like to give my age in hex these days, 37 sounds so much younger.

So do I, it seems to make more sense like all upper case letters. That looks more like 6s to me than lower case bs with upper case other letters
