A variation of Code 128 previously known as UCC/EAN-128, this symbology is
defined by the GS1 General Specifications. Application Identifiers (AIs) should
be entered using [square bracket] notation. These will be converted to (round
brackets) for the human readable text. This will allow round brackets to be used
in the data strings to be encoded. Fixed length data should be entered at the
appropriate length for correct encoding. GS1-128 does not support extended ASCII
characters. Check digits for GTIN data (AI 01) are not generated and need to be
included in the input data. The following is an example of a valid GS1-128

For compatibility with data entry in other systems, if the data does not include
round brackets, the option --gs1parens (API input_mode |= GS1PARENS_MODE;) may
be used to signal that AIs are encased in round brackets instead of square ones.
