It's about Croatian characters: ŠšĐđČčĆćŽž These are some of the characters I was able to map in ASCII:

Char code = Cro letter = How I see them in VS editor

196+144 = Đ = Ä
197+160 = Š = Å 
196+134 = Ć = Ä†
196+140 = Č = ÄŒ

Those characters (codes) my bank knows how to read and expects them to be in those codes. Is there a method or encoding that can do this automatically or is it a standard of sorts in my Country or EU...? I doubt I should know and hardcode in my program those codes in order to be able to transport those characters in ASCII barcode PDF417. I can't find information about it.
