Ben	Best Answer The apostrophe symbol is not part of the standard Code 39 character set. However, it is part of the Extended Character Set To encode the apostrophe, you have two options: Option 1 (Recommended) The scanner must be set to read full ASCII or Extended 39. Use the Extended Code 39 fonts The Extended Fonts can be located in the Extended39 folder of the purchased download. These can be installed manually by copying them to the c:windowsfonts folder. Option 2 The scanner must be set to read full ASCII or Extended 39. Encode data using Extended Set with normal Code 39 Fonts. For example, if you wanted to create a Code 39 barcode that scans as Abc'123, it must be encoded as A+B+C/G123 using Extended Chart. In this example, the /G is the apostrophe.
