I asked what should I do to generate a barcode on basis of an array of chars?

All I know is when I take the barcode reader and scan a barcode, the output is like this in (player_id)

I am now looking for a good working solution on how to generate a barcode which gives you the code (bytes for example) you have in the table as unique id.
