About Unicode and text encoding in barcodes
Unicode is a text encoding standard managed by the Unicode Consortium,
which is designed to support the use of text written in all of the world's major operating systems.
Unicode provides a unique number for every character including alphanumeric,
punctuation marks, mathematical symbols, technical symbols, arrows, and characters making up non-Latin alphabets such as Japanese, Chinese, or Arabic script.
To convert Unicode characters into barcodes, you usually need convert Unicode characters into byte array using UTF-8 encode, and then encode the converted byte array
to 2d barcodes using byte mode, such as Data Matrix, PDF-417, and QR Code.
