Sure, string encodings are used for most APIs and ultra HFT may pattern match on the raw bytes, but for regular HFT if you're doing much math, it's going to be floating point math.
If you need to be extremely fast (like fpga fast), you don't waste compute transforming their fixed point representation into floating.
