It depends on type of barcode you want to use.

If you are using a code39 type, you can't insert special char like °, because it can rapresent only first 49 ascii chars. You need to use a barcode type code128, so you can rapresent all 128 ASCII chars, even special chars.

  • I am using barcode type 128, but can't able insert special char °. If i insert degree symbol printer does not prints the barcode. – PRABA Sep 22 '16 at 11:17
  • This is because char ° is an extended ascii character. Try look here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21475390/encode-extended-ascii-characters-in-a-code-128-barcode – Rovo93 Sep 23 '16 at 12:23
  • As you mentioned in the above comment. After changing the text encoding property of the barcode to "ISO 8859-1"character set. its works for me and printing correctly. :) – PRABA Sep 24 '16 at 04:22
