Hello,

It is very strange.
We have tested the code you sent on a few mobile phones and five free scanners (http://freenuts.com/best-5-free-online-qr-code-readers/).
Our barcode was read correctly everywhere.
Your barcode was read wrongly everywhere.

Thank you.

Yes,English text is OK indeed.
but all of the Chinese text can not be scaned by my test,not only "汉字".
bellow is the photo for testing.





any ideas for me? thank you.

Hello,

Most likely, you are using the KANJI encoding, in your program. In our barcode encoding, Unicode is probably used your scanner does not recognize this encoding. Alternatively, please try checking the settings of your scanner. And since we are not good in Chinese, then it is a little bit difficult to understand in more detail with this issue.

Thank you.

There are different obviously,base on my know all most of the Chinese Windows use Unicode, so if you can fix this problem will be perfectly, look forward to your good news。

Hello,

According to the specification the QR-Code data can be encoded in several modes:

1) numeric data;
2) alphanumeric data;
3) 8-bit byte data (JIS 8-bit character set (Latin and Kana))
4) Kanji characters
5) Extended Channel Interpretation (ECI) Mode.

ECI is a list of modes such as at:
http://strokescribe.com/en/ECI.html

The ECI 000 026 mode (UTF-8) allows encoding any character.
Therefore, if the datacan not be encoded in modes 1 and 2, we use this in default mode.
Most of new devices support this mode.
But, apparently, your barcode reader does not support this mode.

We have added the task to support Kanji mode in our to-do list.

Thank you.
