Don't let your experience in assembly language be a handicap.  Reread
the Lua documentation, giving special attention to the value types.

As a start: strings are not bytes, much less numbers.  0x0C isn't a
string, nor a byte, it's a number.  If you want strings defined by the
hex ASCII codes, use string.char(n), as shown by Luiz.

Lua's autoconvertion won't do what you want, when you put a number
(like 0x0C == 12.0) where it needs a string, it will create a string
with a readable rendering of the number: "12".
