QR Code with umlauts (special characters)

Dear sirs,

we have a qr code with an umlaut (ö) in the code. Now if we scan the code, some scanners (fe iOS Power Scanner App) can't scan the 'ö' character. Other scan applications (fe iOS Default Camera App) work as expected. Is there a trick to support every scanner? I tried an online QR Code Generator (https://qr.io) with the same data and this works on every scan application.

I attached a sample picture of the Stimulsoft Reports generated code and the online version.

Edit: We use Stimulsoft Reports.Net 2022.4.5.0

Hello.

Please, try to change the encoding to UTF-8:

Code: Select all

StiOptions.Engine.BarcodeQRCodeDefaultByteModeEncoding = Stimulsoft.Report.BarCodes.StiQRCodeECIMode.UTF_8;
Thank you.

Hi,

thank you - work's like a charm. But would it be possible in future releases, to define the ByteModeEncoding and Unicode BOM per QR Code in the Designer? We have a lot of QR Codes for different interfaces to external systems, and it could be possible, that they need a different encoding.
