Side question: Why is nobody making QR codes on web pages clickable (regardless if it’s an image or text-based)? Not every QR code represents a URL, of course, but many do. Maybe there should be a qrcode URL scheme that lets browsers behave the same way as a camera scanning a QR code.
This is absolute black magic. I never realized OpenType rules were powerful enough to render something as complex as a QR matrix inline.

Font shaping rules are actually turing complete. An incredible amount of engineering effort has gone into this not being a total disaster everywhere at all times.
Once something is Turing-complete, the magic turns from black to white. ;)
Not mentioned is the fact that the resulting QR Fonts are huge --- much larger than the javascript needed to render a QR code.
