How to encode Croatian and German characters


How do I make this code work and set the parameters below so that it can generate letters: Čč, Ćć, Đđ, Šš, Žž, and German: ü? I have tried with Tilde and 0xd, but nothing worked.
Aplication= Crystal reports 14, OS= Win10.

stringVar DataToEncode:= "show Croatian chars: Čč, Ćć, Đđ, Šš, Žž and German: ü in 2d barcode?"
stringVar CompleteBarcodeString:="";
numberVar EcLevel:=4;
numberVar TotalColumns:=0;
numberVar TotalRows:=0;
numberVar Truncated:=0;
numberVar PDFMode:=1;
numberVar ApplyTilde:=1;

This issues applies to any PDF417, Data Matrix or QR Code font or component from IDAutomation.

Operating System: Windows 10

Application: Crystal reports 14

This is how to scan and encode international characters such as Croatian and German:

1. Encode the data using byte or binary encoding. This option encodes all data, byte-by-byte. To do this in your product, change PDFMode:=1 to PDFMode:=0.
2. Scan the data with a scanner capable of reading these characters. Usually, this is supported by the serial interface option (data bits have to be 8N) on the scanner. Most keyboard wedge and USB scanners do not support extended characters above ASCII 128.
