Barcode Type: 2D - qr
Barcode Confidence: 100
Barcode Version: 2
Barcode Value: ]Q2\000026SEP00SR-H00008246102-1_1

I have try with another application (app cell phone) the result is

Hello,

The "]Q2" header at the beginning of the decoded information signals that the barcode's bytes are encoded using different encodings. The encodings are identified by a six-digit number representing the ECI (Extended Channel Interpretation) in effect. More "\nnnnnn" ECIs sequences could be present in the decoded information.

In your case the 26 ECI is used to signal that the information is stored using UTF-8 encoding. Partial correspondence between ECI values and their corresponding character encoding could be found, for example, here: https://www.morovia.com/kb/List-ECIs-Ex ... 10004.html
