Hi Gary,Thank you very much for your response.I am sorry that I make you not to understand my question. I think I should tell you this problem in detal.I tried to generate a 2D barcode containing Chinese characters but the Chinese characters could not be scanned by CIPHERLAB 1564 2D Wireless Memory Scanner. Therefore, I asked my hardware supplier about this problem and then he told me that I need to generate the 2D barcode with the UTF-8 encoding.
For your reference, I am using Visual Basic.NET 2005 to develop my application.Thanks.TonyPosts: 8 Joined: Tue Nov 12, 2013 10:54 am. Hello,Thanks for your information.You could firstly convert the Chinese characters to UTF-8 encoding, then try the following method,Code: BarcodeSettings settings = new BarcodeSettings;settings.Type = BarCodeType.Pdf417;string barcodeText ='your utf-8 encoding string';settings.Data2D =barcodeText;settings.Data = barcodeText;BarCodeGenerator generator = new BarCodeGenerator(settings);Image barcode = generator.GenerateImage;barcode.Save('test.png');Sincerely,GaryE-iceblue support teamPosts: 1380 Joined: Thu Apr 04, 2013 1:30 am.

Generate & print QR Code barcode images by encoding Unicode character set. But VB.NET QR Code barcode generator control from Barcodelib.com offers.NET developers a mature barcoding solution to encode data characters from other languages, like Chinese, Korean, using 2-byte data strings, namely, Unicode. How to encode the UNICODE text in a Code128/EAN128 symbol. By default, the text will be encoded in ANSI ecnoding sheme, you can use other encoding scheme, such as the UTF-8, UTF-16LE, UTF-16BE, etc. Note, the feature isn't supported by almost barcode scanners. For Delphi/C Builder 2007 or early.
