Just replace black boxes with '#' and voila you have real ASCII.

  It's not that simple. You have also half blocks (U+2580 UPPER HALF BLOCK, U+2584 LOWER HALF BLOCK) to deal with.

      My phone correctly read the code from my laptop screen as-is. I don't think it would with actual low-byte characters.

        It probably would if you use the “unreadable” xterm font haha.

    Why? I've had my phone read QR codes made of entirely the '#' character, albeit with a small fixed-width font.
