There is no real specification. This is the best source[1], which documents QR standards.
>There are some standards -- de facto and otherwise -- already in use. This wiki attempts to catalog some possible standards for encoding various types of information, and suggest a standard action associated to them.

- mdaniel 5y agoDamn, that's saddening, but also answers a question I had about what the escape character is for a password containing `;` -- I guess there's no specification to tell me :-( OTOH, I guess a "standard" is whatever the common implementations accept anyway, so if one could dig up the source to the WiFi QR scanner in source.android.com that's the 2nd best thing
- jaflo 5y agoNo specification, but the linked website mentions that they “propose a syntax like "MECARD" for specifying wi-fi configuration” and then later: > Special characters \, ;, ,, " and : should be escaped with a backslash (\) as in MECARD encoding.
