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.

Not a bad idea, but probably requires significant preparation.
