IDAutomation 2D products now encode UTF8 characters.

The tutorial assumes the user has downloaded and installed the fonts and set up the IDAutomation_JavaFontEncoder_DataMatrix.jar in the classpath. The steps will explain how to encode data and scan a barcode that contains UTF8 characters.

Example Data:

NOTE: Set DataToEncode to the UTF8 characters of your choice.
