Unicode characters not showed

[pherjung]

If scanned QR code has some specials lowercase characters (like é, à, ä, etc). CoBang doesn't handle it correctly.
I'm using CoBang 0.9.6 on Manjaro.

Thank you. I haven't tested it. Will fix.

@pherjung Could you give a screenshot? I've just tested and it can handle Unicode:

I have the issue using the webcam and importing the file. It should be : Il était une fois, un noël radieiux et un gros test. Manchmal sind wir über freundlich.

@pherjung Could you share me that picture? I guess it is just your system configuration.

[pherjung]

Here is the picture. Is this fine for you?

Hi, I can reproduce the issue. Unfortunately, I cannot fix it right now, because it is a bug of the underlying library, ZBar, which assumes the text-encoding and tries to convert binary string to unicode before returning to the application.

I will try to contact ZBar developers for this issue.

I've just heard about QR scanner based on WeChat algorithm. Maybe I will port it to Python / Rust and use it behind CoBang.
