dhcp-options(5) is the authoritative reference for that and it shows
both, using client identifier as an example, incidentally:
The string data type specifies either an NVT ASCII string enclosed in
double quotes, or a series of octets specified in hexadecimal,
separated by colons. For example:
option dhcp-client-identifier "CLIENT-FOO";
or
option dhcp-client-identifier 43:4c:49:45:54:2d:46:4f:4f;
