qr apps often need a good brightness boost to help them out. qrencode's
-tutf8 and -tascii don't produce a bright background, so if the terminal
has a dark background a qr reader might not be able to read the qr code.
any of the -tansi{,256} -tasciii output types perform better than the
utf8 alternative, since they produce a bright background.
i find -tansi looks best, although one may argue -tasciii works as well
and is a more conservative and platform-independent option than the
alternatives. i use -tansi here because <reasons>.
to test, i scanned generated qrcodes on my phone with a qr code scanner
app.
