It doesn’t seem to like spaces that much, the code for [QR coded] is broken for me on safari ios. When the space is removed it’s a working qrcode again

Impressive, but on iOS 27 even one of the examples don't work. Seems like it has an issue with spaces. https://imgur.com/a/tZGqtjR

Spaces are definitely broken in Safari.

Maybe it's not practical for day-to-day use but the way this hacks the font to produce something completely different is amazing!

Font rendering should scare you

Unfortunately the most important thing here is missing - the whole explanation, like how did we get there, what those fonts can do and so on..

Great idea, but it's a shame that it only supports Basic Latin (English-only).

A fun benefit seems to be that you can select the QR code as text and copy it, which puts the original text in your clipboard.
