Is it possible to create a QR code using text?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
QR codes I have seen are mostly image files. But can you create QR codes using plain text?
For example ASCII and UTF-8 have black boxes as characters. Can I use those together with spaces to create a QR code?

@BenLeggiero Thank you for your question. I don't have a certain project but I thought it would be handy to know the existence of such QR codes. For example, you can put those in a bio on a forum if the forum doesn't support profile pictures, and many more advantages.

Yes! There is a utility called qrencode that can render these for you.
The only really important factor for a QR code is that the 2D array has "darker" and "ligher" pixels / segments. It can be colored too, though contrast can start to be an issue.
ASCII
Your ability to read this QR code will likely depend on the camera's resolution, distance, and the software you're using.
qrencode -t ASCIIi 'https://superuser.com/questions/1420001/is-it-possible-to-write-a-qr-code'
Note: I used -t ASCIIi (Inverted ASCII) because my terminal is White-on-Black.
ANSI
This mode works by setting the background color to black or white, and printing a number of space characters.
qrencode -t ANSI 'https://superuser.com/questions/1420001/is-it-possible-to-write-a-qr-code'
Some of the raw characters written to the terminal are shown below, these are ANSI escape codes. An "escape" character has a value of 0x1b and can often be written as e.
e[40msets the background color to black
e[47msets the background color to white
0x20is an ASCII space
UTF-8
There is also a UTF-8 mode (-t UTF8). This mode uses the "half block" characters to increase the density, and cut the line count by half.
- ▀ - U+2580 / Upper Half Block
- ▄ - U+2584 / Lower Half Block
- █ - U+2588 / Full Block

@MuratKaçiran: Powershell and CMD are just command interpreters (shells), they both use the same "Windows Console" as the terminal. It too has received significant improvements in Win10.18xx. In the past, it did not support UTF-8 at all. It could do Unicode via UTF-16 with suitably written programs, but those programs had to deliberately use the special Unicode mode. If the program didn't do that, all you get is the MS-DOS era cp437 codepages... In that situation,qrencode -t UTF8 | iconv -f utf8 -t cp437may still work, as the same box drawings also existed back then.

If the program didn't do that, all you get is the MS-DOS era cp437 codepages... In that situation,

@BenLeggiero Thank you for your question. I don't have a certain project but I thought it would be handy to know the existence of such QR codes. For example, you can put those in a bio on a forum if the forum doesn't support profile pictures, and many more advantages.
