QR code generator doesn't properly hande Unicode characters

[Mr-Rixa]

Hi,

I noticed when trying to create a QR code that contains Unicode 6 character 😎 the QR generated outputs data

3F 3F and later on tested that any Unicode emoji results in 3F 3F

and a QR generator on my browser outputs

F0 9F 98 8E which is the correct hex data for U+1F60E

Both are on error correction H

barcodrod.io QR

browser extension QR

edit: tested that the program can decode QR correctly from image file and display the Unicode character on the lower QR code
