Doesn't recognize Cyrillic

[vladislavkovalskyi]

How can I make the module recognize the Cyrillic alphabet?

My code:
image = pyqrcode.create('АБВГД', encoding='UTF-8') image.png(fileName, scale=4)
When scanning, it gives out question marks "?????"

The cyrillic characters are detected as Kanji:

>>> qr = pyqrcode.create('АБВГД')
>>> qr.mode
'kanji'

That seems to be correct but it is a bug that the provided encoding is ignored.

>>> qr = pyqrcode.create('АБВГД', encoding='utf-8')
>>> qr.mode
'kanji'

This lib is not actively maintained, give (shameless plug) Segno a try:

>>> import segno
>>> qr = segno.make_qr('АБВГД')
>>> qr.mode
'kanji'

If you provide an encoding, the result should be correct:

>>> import segno
>>> qr = segno.make_qr('АБВГД', encoding='utf-8')
>>> qr.mode
'byte'

Or you provide the content as bytes

>>> import segno
>>> qr = segno.make_qr('АБВГД'.encode('utf-8'))
>>> qr.mode
'byte'

Result:
