I have two barcodes that I am working with. They are clearly different, but both scan as code 128. One is weird and one is normal. I have tried to reprint the data for the barcode in every way I can think of to I can see what subset (A, B or C) is being used.

For the normal one I know it is A for the first 10 chars then it changes the encoding to B.

I cannot seem to find out how to see what the encoding is on the other (weird) one.

I am using a symbol scanner. (I turned on the prefix char but that only told me D (Code 128)

Is there any tool to allow me to dig into the barcode symbologies?

    I know very little about barcodes and zero about non-european ones, but for weird implementations of Code 128, there is also GS1-128.

    This online barcode generator looks quite nice and can generate a lot of formats you might want to check against.
