    Thank you. This is a great tool to easily distribute information to my customers about phone plans and services. I’m going to tag you in the small print of any fliers I use if that is okay.

    Thank you for this simple and very useful tool. I’m missing a command line parameter to copy the generated QR code to the clipboard.

    Almost all QR code generators I tried (including my own in PHP!) fail on accented characters (ex: à, é, è, …) by displaying weird characters (ex: 閠, 語, 画, etc.) instead when producing VCARDs. For example:
    BEGIN:VCARD
    VERSION:3.0
    N:Château;Émilie;;;
    FN:Émilie Château
    TITLE:Docteur en médecine
    END:VCARD

    results in:
    Name:閠ilie Ch語eau
    Title:Docteur en m画ecine

    It took me ages to find a way around this glitch by putting in the “N:” line of the VCARD:
    – a space after the first accented character (only after the first)
    – or an accented character in any fields of the “N:” line
    Don’t ask me why though! I’m not even sure of the purpose of the “N:” line in the VCARD short of being mandatory.

    This VCARD works fine:
    BEGIN:VCARD
    VERSION:3.0
    N:Châ teau;Émilie;;; <<=== a space after the first accented character OR
    N:Châ;Émilie;;; <<=== last char of one of the fields is accented OR
    N:Château;Émilie;;xyzô; <<== will also work OR
    N:Château;Émilie;;Î; <<=== will also work
    FN:Émilie Château
    TITLE:Docteur en médecine
    END:VCARD

    Results in:
    Name:Émilie Château
    Title:Docteur en médecine

    Hope this helps.
