Re:What's Inside the EU Green Pass QR Code? by kubanczyk on Tuesday June 22, 2021 @11:30AM (#27592930)
Because the "binary" in QR codes (actually they call it "byte" mode) is supposed to be ISO-8859-1 per the ISO/IEC 18004:2005.

Which means it is a text mode, and actual scanners do treat it as text (although usually UTF-8 which goes against that standard, meh).
