I'm writing this on mobile...

So I was recently thinking about the hash function Sha256 and I though about to what values it mapps.

You can pretty much give Sha256 any value and it would return a 32 character string.

My question is if all 32 character strings will be the result of some value hashed by Sha256.

To clarify my question, is there a 32 character string that will never be the result of a Sha256 hash?
