Codabar

Codabar dates from 1972 and encodes digits and six punctuation marks, one character per four bars and three spaces.

Four letters, A to D, serve as the start and stop characters. The library brackets the payload with A at both ends and rejects those four letters inside it, since a scanner reading one mid-symbol would take it for the end of the code.
