Re:What's Inside the EU Green Pass QR Code? by kubanczyk on Tuesday June 22, 2021 @11:18AM (#27592754)
Yes, 41 characters would be sufficient.

I would have omitted these four (the asterix being there only to have a consecutive subset):

    36 Space
    37 $
    38 %
    39 *
Especially % can be confusing, as %20AA seems like a valid base45 both before and after urldecode. The $ is a lesser footgun.

I'd be keen to learn why they decided to use full 45 characters available in alphanumeric QR.
