What is the longest (printed length) version 4 GUID/UUID when displayed in a non-fixed-width font? (obviously in a monospace font all guids look the same length)

For instance, I want to size a table cell that will hold a GUID, and I want it to be slightly larger than the largest possible value.

After a lot of testing of which character shows up the longest, I discovered that:

dddddddd-dddd-4ddd-bddd-dddddddddddd

Shows up the longest in both lowercase and uppercase.

The long answer is that it depends on the font, but in most "normal" fonts (such as Arial, Helvetica, Calibri, etc.), D tends to be the longest character (or a very close second) in both upper and lower cases.
