Aztec Barcode is a 2D barcode which can encode 8 bit data, including all ASCII characters (binary values 0 - 127) and the remaining values (binary values 128 - 255). The barcode also includes error detection and correction to compensate for damaged barcodes. Error correction typically takes up 23% of the code space.
