As usual, this is less about what QRcode *can* do (there is a nice binary encoding in there), but about what you can get by all the broken stuff that is out there. So the canonical way to handle this today is: (1) Use the “alphanumeric” 45-character set defined by QR-Code specs as upper case letters + digits + space (!) + »$%*+-./:« (2) Use all these characters — even though 2**16**(1/3) is 40.317473596635935 (45**3 = 91125, way more than 65536), so 41 out of these characters would really suffice - don’t avoid the risky characters. (3) Suffer. >> Maybe we can find someone to talk about practical aspects of DGC and >> related efforts at one of the next CBOR interims... > > Actually, I think it belongs as a IAB Tech plenary talk. Not a bad idea, but probably requires significant preparation.
