Japan Post
The Japan Post barcode will accept digits and uppercase letters and the hyphen. The data consists of a 7 digit postal code plus
address data. If the address data is less than 13 characters the remaining character positions are filled with control characters
to make the length 20.
The postal code section may have a hyphen at the 4th character position (eg. 123-4567) although this hyphen does not appear
in the encoded data. There may also be a hyphen between the postal code and the address data (eg. 154-0023-1-3-2-A-507).
Again this hyphen does not appear in the encoded data. Note that the remaining hyphens are encoded.
