QR (quick response) code is a unique barcode which consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The code is used to store information such as URLs, contact details, or texts. It is capable of handling many types of data such as numeric, binary, alphabetic, and even Japanese characters such as Kanji and Kana. Nowadays, you can find it almost everywhere: at the bottom of a magazine page, on a billboard, on a CD cover and even on the television. It might not be as common as the conventional barcode, but the use of this code is getting more and more popular.
