It expresses characters from the 128-character [[ASCII]] repertoire using combinations of narrow and wide bars and spaces to stand for particular bit combinations, using even parity to cause there to always be an even number of zero bits. Bytes are encoded in little-endian bit order. The code always starts with an ASCII underscore (0x5F) and ends with ASCII z (0xFA).<br /> <br /> == Utilities ==<br /> * [http://barcode.tec-it.com/barcode-generator.aspx?group=BCGroup_1D&amp;barcode=TelepenAlpha Barcode generator: Telepen]<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> * [[Wikipedia:Telepen|Wikipedia article]]<br /> * [http://telepen.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Barcode-Symbology-Information-and-History.pdf Detailed symbology info]<br /> * [http://fairlypositive.com/blog/2012/01/17/reading-telepen-barcodes/ Reading Telepen barcodes]</div>
