2Dbarcode PD417 UNICODE characters
Hello!
I am using Delphi 10.3.3, RB 19.0.4.
It seems that 2Dbarcode does not generate some UNICODE characters like "čćžšđ" correctly.

Generated 2D barcode is read using https://online-barcode-reader.inliteresearch.com/ or mobile app "BarCode Reader" and result is:

ŽĆš characters are generated with just one byte instead of two. I suppose that there should be a way to switch to byte mode to code multibyte characters.
Please tell me how can I generate correct 2D bar code?
Thank You!

Multi-byte character sets (Unicode) are not currently supported by the PDF417 component in ReportBuilder. PDF417 was never originally designed to support character values above 255 (FF). Some modern readers now allow for UTF-8 encoded PDF417 to work around this limitation.
The PDF417 component in ReportBuilder was adapted from the open source project TurboPower Systools. Over time we have enhanced it to support our customers' needs. I will add support for UTF-8 encoding to our list of possible enhancements for a later release of ReportBuilder.

I hope that this enhancement will be made.
