<!-- The next set is for "cells-in-row". The number inside should be 9 for Classic Sudoku. Generally, it should be the size of the grid. For 4x4 puzzles it should be 4; for 16x16 puzzles it should be 16. -->
The problem is how to represent numbers greater than 9. I've used the letters of the alphabet, as one would in hexadecimal notation. My file is as follows:

The library book is successfully read by the Pappocom Sudoku app but, when I press the 'Verify book' key, I see the error message
'Puzzle #1: The data in <question> contains an unexpected character: [c] around cell 1.'
Please explain which characters I should use to represent figures greater than 9.
Thanks
