Research direction
Reproduce the issue by rendering the shown hex(1234) output in Fira Code and compare the x in 0x4d2 with the expected ASCII x. Done means the hexadecimal prefix remains visually unambiguous and does not render as a multiplication sign; the payload names no files or tests to inspect.
