Does it work with UTF-8?

[KowshickP]

Thank You for the amazing script. It sure helps people like me working on old tech.
It works like a charm for English text but unfortunately it doenst work for Arabic text.
Is this a limitation?

Hi, I have never tried that..

You can try to "hardcode" some UTF-8 value directly in the java stored procedure and check if you get the right "arabic" text back.

ut = net.glxn.qrgen.QRCode.from(value).to(ImageType.GIF).stream();

like

ut = net.glxn.qrgen.QRCode.from(new String("تعطي يونيكود رقما فريدا لكل حرف".getBytes(), "UTF-8")).to(ImageType.GIF).stream();

Or you can pass an array of "bytes" that represents the arabcic "chars" in UTF-8 .
Or you can check the javadoc here http://javadox.com/net.glxn/qrgen/1.3/net/glxn/qrgen/QRCode.html and try to pass the right charset in withCharset method..

Recompile the procedure on the database side and try.. Currently I don't have an instance of Oracle db to check it..
