Public bug reported: When decoding a QR code containing latin accented characters, the output text uses the wrong encoding and outputs some Asian characters.
Attached is an example image (from this page showing a sample of a Swiss QR bill : https://developer.pdf4me.com/docs/api/swiss-qr/), and a cropped version with only the QR code itself.
