FAQ:
Q: What is unary representation?
A: Unary representation is a numeral system where each natural number is represented by a corresponding number of symbols. For example, the number 3 is represented as '111' in unary.
Q: Are there any limitations to the input?
A: This tool accepts valid hexadecimal numbers as input. Non-hexadecimal characters or numbers larger than the capacity of JavaScript may not produce accurate results.
Q: Can I convert unary back to hexadecimal?
A: No, this tool only converts hexadecimal to unary. Unary representation is not commonly used for storage or manipulation of data and is primarily used for theoretical purposes.
