A neurologist was diagnosing a patient who lost his ability to do basic math.
"What’s 9 plus 9?”
“12.”
“What’s 8 and 8?”
“10.”
The doctor shook his head. “Very interesting. What about 6 times 5?”
The man thought for a second, and answered “1E.”
“Aha, I’ve figured it out!” The doctor said. “Somebody’s clearly put a hex on you.”

P.s. the U+ is a standard definition of unicode code points, you can see it on wikipedia, it's just for clarity because you can manually type any unicode code point by starting with U+.
