Issue Description

Description

Currently, any input string passed in to the generate QR code function is encoded as utf8 before being encoded in the QR code. Having an option to encode in ASCII or other encoding methods could allow larger texts to be encoded into smaller QR codes. Adding an argument to specify which text encoding method to use, which could default to utf8 would be a useful feature.

It seems I was mistaken with my understanding of the difference between ascii and utf8 encoding as ascii wouldn't take up any less space than utf8 if you're already only using characters in the ascii set. It could still be a useful feature to allow alternate encoding options though.
