Modulo 10. The check digit computation uses
only the digits 12345 (67890 are ignored
because this data comes after the ^)

4.6 Escape Sequences (Encoding Binary Data)
If you want to use non-printable or special characters in a barcode, you have to use escape
sequences. An escape sequence
always start with a backslash („\‟) followed by the sequence itself.
► You have to activate the decoding of escape sequences in the barcode properties – per
default the translation of escape sequences is turned off.
► With activated escape sequences you mu st use “\\” in the input data to encode a single
backslash „\“ in the barcode.
