The correct way to compare hashes is to let the computer do it.
i.e.
Ctrl + C,
Ctrl + F,
Ctrl + V
"oh look it didn't find it ... they don't match",
versus,
"yup all 64/128/2048/n digits match, the hashes are the same".

Typical hex/base64 would work, but imagine someone tries to be smart and invent a dictionary word encoding with Unicode characters, and then someone brute forces another key that's actually different but will match a search with smart Unicode collation algorithms.
