Unicode Encoding Control Commands
Function
Initiate Unicode UTF-32BE Encoding
All
ASCII
[ESC] + h
Hexadecimal
1BH 2BH 68H
Decimal
<27> <43> <104>
Description
The [ESC] + h command will put the printer into UTF-32BE character
encoding mode of operation. If you wish to access characters above 255, you must
select a Unicode encoding such as UTF-32BE.
UTF-16 is the most straightforward way to access characters above 255,
however UFT32 does not require Surrogates to address character values greater
than 65535.
UTF-32BE uses the big-endian method of sending the four bytes. This method
sends the high byte first and then the lower bytes.
Note:
Once selected, all information sent to the printer must then use this
encoding, even for non-print commands
Function
Initiate Unicode UTF-32LE Encoding
All
ASCII
[ESC] + l
Hexadecimal
1BH 2BH 6CH
Decimal
<27> <43> <108>
Description
The [ESC] + l command will put the printer into UTF-32LE character
encoding mode of operation. If you wish to access characters above 255, You must
select a Unicode encoding such as UTF-16LE.
UTF-16 is the most straightforward way to access characters above 255,
however UFT32 does not require Surrogates to address character values greater
than 65535.
UTF-32LE uses the little-endian method of sending the four bytes. This method
sends the low byte first and then the higher bytes.

Once selected, all information sent to the printer must then use this

Function
