ABOUT EXTENDED HEX NOTATION

"Extended hexadecimal" (XX) notation uses all of the digits and all of the letters of the alphabet to express numbers in the range of 0 to 35 as a single character.

With extended hex, even the 31st day of a month can be expressed as a single character (31 = V). So a monthly date can be expressed as just two characters. October 31 is "AV".
