When plugged in, the operating system treats the YubiKey as a USB keyboard. USB keyboards send scancodes to the operating system, which the operating system then interprets as keystrokes. The YubiKey has to make sure no ambiguity arises: there are many different kinds of keyboard layouts and the scancodes have to be interpreted as the same character on machines using every random keyboard layout out there. To fix this, the people of Yubico have created 'modhex', which is a modified representation of hexadecimal characters that uses only 'safe' characters. 'Safe' characters are basically characters which have the same scancode on all keyboard layouts. When plugged in, the operating system treats the YubiKey as a USB keyboard.
