helps you make mnemonics for memorising hexadecimal numbers using an extension of the Mnemonic Major System.
The extended system used by by this converter is detailed here.

Conversion Table
This is the conversion table used for converting between hexadecimal digits and consonant sounds.
(A different table is used in decimal mode.)
| Digit | Phonemes in IPA |
|---|---|
| 0 | /s/, /z/ |
| 1 | /t/ |
| 2 | /n/, /ŋ/ |
| 3 | /m/ |
| 4 | /r/ |
| 5 | /l/ |
| 6 | /ʒ/, /d͡ʒ/ |
| 7 | /g/ |
| 8 | /v/ |
| 9 | /p/ |
| A | /θ/, /ð/, /h/ |
| B | /b/ |
| C | /k/ |
| D | /d/ |
| E | /ʃ/, /t͡ʃ/ |
| F | /f/ |
| (none) | all vowels, /w/, /j/ |
It is based on (and aims to be backwards compatible with) the conversion table from the mnemonic major system. For details on this extended mnemonic system, see this page.
