Yes, a good example should contain both decimal digits and A..F, and not
look like text itself. If it's Firebird-related, that's a plus. Examples
are '6D61737465726B6579' (masterkey) and '4E756C6C' (Null).

To get A..F hex digits, you need something from JKLMNOZjklmnoz and/or
*+,-./:;<=>?[\]^_{|}~ in the ASCII plaintext.
