@jpmens IIRC that is actually based on an european banking standard document on verification.
Not that they couldn't have *added* proper validation on top of the required stuff… -

@jpmens Indeed!
EPC-QR (essentially QR encoded SEPA payment instructions) mandate UTF-8…
Guess if banking apps implement it properly, or if they work with *ONLY* the local language special characters… 🥴
