Trying to recover a disk with GPT partitions used as LVM2 Physical Volumes.

LVM config file gives me the disk UUID:

 physical_volumes {

        pv0 {   
                id = "TDOcy3-NrVX-Kmx8-i5M6-2qym-45Pt-cHCcuY"

While most standard UUID versions mention that UUID should be displayed as hexadecimal, which is figures 0-9 and letters a-f .

How come LVM2 UUID in LVM metadata have alphabet letters from g to z, plus a mix of lower and uppercase letters ?

This prevents tools like gdisk to set the partition UUID as in the LVM configuration, as gdisk does follow the standard and generates only valid hexadecimal UUID.
