QRCode Carriage Return and TAB

[Joe]

I can't seem to get carriage returns or breaks to work in my qrcode.
maybe it's an option on the scanner, I am using a honeywell 4820
scanner... but I think it is probably just me not using the correct
character. can anyone advise?

Thanks!
Joe

You probably aren't urlencoding it:

Carriage return should be %0A
Tab should be %09

[Joe]

that was it!!! Thanks... so would F7 key be %76

If you're referring to the Function keys, I don't believe that's supported as that is not necessarily outputted as a character on the screen but is an action - but I'd be happy to see someone correct me on that.

If you're referring to just the letter F and 7, then F7 should suffice.

%76 should return v

You can use the following site to see how to what the characters look like if you urlencode.

What language are you using to create your strings? A large set of them have inbuilt libraries that support this - e.g. php has urlencode(), Python has urllib.urlencode etc.

Do you mean when you create the QR Code or when you read it? If the
latter, have you tried to read it with another scanner
(iPhone/Droid/etc)?
