-Files begin with ASCII "{{magic|RIFF}}", and have "{{magic|sfbk}}" at offset 8.
+Files begin with {{magic|52 49 46 46}} which in ASCII is "{{magic|RIFF}}", and have {{magic|73 66 62 6b}} or in ASCII "{{magic|sfbk}}" at offset 8.
 In most cases, this is followed by "{{magic|LIST}}" at offset 12, "{{magic|INFOifil}}" at offset 20, and bytes {{magic|02 00}} at offset 32. The last <code>02</code> byte distinguishes major version 2 from [[SoundFont 1.0|major version 1]].
