Unicode bar codes

2001-05-11 Thread
Will the Unicode bar codes have a built-in encoding so you won't have to waste your time trying to tell big-endian from little-endian or UTF-8 or whatever? I mean, if I have a $B2V(B, is it just "a $B2V(B is a $B2V(B is a $B2V(B" or do I need extra info to tell it's not a $B@P(B or so
