<P>QR Code can encode Kaji characters. This can be accessed using the
<FONT FACE="Courier, monospace">--kanji</FONT> option.</P>
<P>The QR Code and MicroQR Code standards have a "Kanji mode" for encoding
Japanese chacters. The standards assume that the input is encoded using the
Shift-JIS system. To access this functionality directly use the
<FONT FACE="Courier, monospace">--sjis</FONT> option. Note that only
double-byte characters are supported. The presence of single byte characters
will cause the data to become corrupted. This functionality can also be
accessed from environments which use Unicode encoding by using the
<FONT FACE="Courier, monospace">--kanji</FONT> option. When this option is
invoked Zint attempts to convert Unicode data to Shift-JIS before encoding
in a barcode symbol. If a Unicode character is not supported then the error
message is output.[1]</P>

<P>Additional options are available which
are specific to certain symbologies. These may, for example, control
the quantity of error correction data or the size of the symbol.
These options are discussed in section 5 of this guide.</P>
<P>[1] Only Unicode and Shift-JIS inputs can be encoded by Zint directly.
Apple Macintosh Japanese, EUC-JP, ISO-2022-JP and Windows-932 standards
