In 3.3.16.2, the text says "For example, '0FB7' is a hex encoding for the
16-bit integer 4023 (whose binary representation is 111110110111)." 

0FB7 represents the two octets (00001111, 10110111). Whether these two octets
represent the integer 4023 is debatable and irrelevant: they might represent a
character string in UTF-7 encoding or an icon or a packed decimal number... 

Also the term "tuple" in the definition seems strange. A "character pair" would
be better.
