Great article, loved it.

>For the ASCII encoding mode

What's this encoding mode? There's no mention of an ASCII "encoding mode" in the rest of the article. wtf? Did you mean "bytes"?

>bytes case

Suppose it's not bytes, but any of the other modes. How do we read these?

>The error correction is generated by some fancy math, and we don't care about it

Please include error correction. Even if reading by hand, I want to know if I read properly! For that, I need to calculate the error correction.

Even just saying "there's a CRC-32/ISO-HDLC here" is better than saying nothing. I understand CRC is outside the scope of the article.



The modes are discussed in the article.


>The modes are discussed in the article.

Yes, and it lists encoding modes Numeric, Alphanumeric, Byte, ECI, and Kanji. It then proceeds to focus on Byte.

Article does notably not list an "encoding mode" called ASCII.

Thus, there's an issue in the article.
