Generate Data Matrix barcode via encoding 2-byte Unicode in VB.NET Class
Offer sample VB.NET code to encode Unicode for Data Matrix barcode generation
Support VB.NET Unicode encoding in other 2d barcode types, like QR Code & PDF-417
Support Data Matrix Unicode encoding in commonly used .NET Framework development environments
VB.NET Data Matrix Unicode Overview
Unicode is a global computer industry standard. It successfully defines how to transform human-readable texts & numbers into internationally-recognized numbers via character encoding methods.
In order to generate Data Matrix 2d barcode in VB.NET with Unicode characters in other languages like Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, Hindi, Japanese & Korean, users need to convert those special data strings into the common 2-byte data strings.
Encode Unicode for VB.NET Data Matrix Generation & Reading
If you want to encode Data Matrix barcode with other non-English characters, you need the Unicode encoding function of our VB.NET Data Matrix barcode generator. Unicode encoding procedure is very easy. Convert Unicode data strings into 2-byte data via Base64[] before you generate Data Matrix and convert the scanning result into original encoded language characters after you scan the Data Matrix.
Encode Non-English Characters into Data Matrix via Unicode
Data Matrix can encode both 1-byte and 2-byte data strings. And Unicode makes it possible to convert other language characters into 2-byte data. The following VB.NET class code will help .NET developers generate Data Matrix via Base64[] Unicode conversion.
Get Original Unicode Data While Reading Data Matrix
To get your original encoded Unicode data string, you need to convert the scanning data to original data via Base64[] after decoding the Data Matrix.
