QR Code not generating all characters via API call.

[barrett316]

I'm sure this is something on the input side, but when generating a QR code via an API call for example "jhfg!#@$?" , the result is "jhfg!" instead of the rest of the characters. Please advise on what I'm doing incorrectly.

Considering that #, @, and ? are special to URLs, my guess is you are not using encodeURIComponent() on the text value...

I think you're correct. Can you give me an example of how the URL should look using the encodeURIComponent please.

Edit: I think I got it, thanks.

You need to use percent-encoding - basically a percent sign % followed by the two-hexadecimal byte value. For example, '#' will be encoded as %23, % as %25. See: Percent Encoding.
