In my Venn diagram, there are (a.o.) alphanumeric and hexadecimal characters. One is a subset of the other, so sometimes you can use only 'some' hexadecimal characters, sometimes you can use 'all' hexadecimal characters / 'any' hexadecimal character. Since English is not my native language, my words might not express exactly what I mean.

If not, "hexadecimal" is a noise word. I'm similarly perplexed by IBM's frequent usage, as in: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.1.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r1.ieaa200/ENQ_Description.htm ... The name can contain any valid hexadecimal character. ...
