Can't encode € symbol to Qr.

[rasanfe]

If you try to encode the euro symbol (€) in a QR it makes it a question mark (?).

Can you post a code snippet here that you use for encoding?

` public string BarcodeGenerate(string source, string outputFile, int height, int width, bool pureBarcode, int margin)
{
BarcodeWriter writer = new BarcodeWriter();
writer.Format = BarcodeFormat.QR_CODE;
writer.Options = new EncodingOptions
{
Height = height,
Width = width,
PureBarcode = pureBarcode,
Margin = margin,
};

var bitmap = writer.Write(source);
bitmap.Save(outputFile);
return outputFile;

}`

Sorry, spare free time. I couldn't answer any sooner.
With regard to the specification of QR codes, the ISO8859-1 character set is used. ISO8859-1 does not support the € symbol. You have to use ISO8859-15 or UTF-8.

public string BarcodeGenerate(string source, string outputFile, int height, int width, bool pureBarcode, int margin)
{
   BarcodeWriter writer = new BarcodeWriter();
   writer.Format = BarcodeFormat.QR_CODE;
   writer.Options = new QrCodeEncodingOptions
   {
      Height = height,
      Width = width,
      PureBarcode = pureBarcode,
      Margin = margin,
      CharacterSet = ZXing.Common.StringUtils.UTF8
   };
   var bitmap = writer.Write(source);
   bitmap.Save(outputFile);
   return outputFile;
}
