Nice script! I modified your script slightly to obtain a script that does not show exact reputation but just category of the user. It can easily be modified to show symbols in place of the numbers:
// ==UserScript==
// @name hex stack overflow rep
// @namespace stackoverflow
// @description Displays user's rep in hexadecimal on stack overflow
// @include http://stackoverflow.com/*
