before placing in the barcode symbol and should be used if you are encoding raw
binary or encrypted data.
If your platform does not use Unicode or if you are using data from file which
is not stored in UTF-8 then you can specify the encoding by using the --binary
switch in combination with the --eci= switch followed by the appropriate number
If you are using data from file which is not UTF-8 formatted then you can
specify the encoding by using the --eci= switch followed by the appropriate number
from the table below. This procedure adds an ECI flag in the barcode data which
tells the barcode reader to change character encoding.

* Note: When using the ECI flag Zint will treat all input data as raw binary.
This means that data which is encoded using a multiple-byte encoding schemes
(other than UTF-8) will not use optimal compression. It is therefore
recommended that data using these schemes be converted to UTF-8 using iconv
or similar before passing it to Zint.
