What always bugged me about QR codes is that they're not human-readable.

I'd love if there were a standard where you'd simply have a human-readable URL plus some markers at the start and end to help with OCR. And you could standardize the font too.

For example: |: google.com [|

(edit: hackernews removes unicode...)
