Swiss QR Code invalid for special characters

[baumschubser]

Encoding Swiss QR Code format generates invalid QR codes if the value contains characters like ç. Fails in bwip-js, works in BWIPP.

This is the value:

SPC

Here is the QR code generated by bwip-js

In BWIPP:

(SPC^CR^LF0200^CR^LF1^CR^LFCH5800791123000889012^CR^LFS^CR^LFVerein ""Zum Beispiel""^CR^LFMusterstrasse^CR^LF123^CR^LF8000^CR^LFSeldwyla^CR^LFCH^CR^LF^CR^LF^CR^LF^CR^LF^CR^LF^CR^LF^CR^LF^CR^LF200.00^CR^LFEUR^CR^LFS^CR^LFModell Stiftung^CR^LFPostfach^CR^LF^CR^LF78462^CR^LFKonstanz^CR^LFDE^CR^LFSCOR^CR^LFRF18539007547034^CR^LFBesançon^CR^LFEPD^CR^LF^CR^LF^CR^LF) (mode=2 parse) /swissqrcode /uk.co.terryburton.bwipp findresource exec

Validate both QR codes here and you will find that bwip-js creates an error, saying it is not UTF-8, while the code from BWIPP is valid.

Patch 3.4.1 has been released to fix the issue. The new version generates the same code words as BWIPP for your example.
