Class CharacterEncoding

Character encodings for encoding and decoding barcodes.

Inheritance

System.Object

CharacterEncoding

Namespace: IronBarCode.Internals

Assembly: IronBarCode.dll

Syntax

public sealed class CharacterEncoding : Enum

CharacterEncoding selects the text encoding IronBarcode uses when turning a string into barcode data, set on BarcodeWriter.DefaultCharacterEncoding. UTF_8 encodes the full Unicode range and is the choice for international text and non-Latin scripts, while ISO_8859_1 (Latin-1) covers Western European characters and stays compatible with readers that expect single-byte input. The writing in Unicode how-to covers encoding non-ASCII content.

BarcodeWriter.DefaultCharacterEncoding = CharacterEncoding.UTF_8;
