What can be encoded into a QR Code?

In its simplest sense a QR Code is an 'image-based hypertext link' that can
be used offline - any URL can be encoded into a QR Code so essentially any
webpage can be opened automatically as a result of scanning the barcode. If
you want to encourage someone to like your Facebook page - have your
Facebook profile page as the URL. Want your video to go viral - encode the
URL in your QR Code. The options are endless.

In addition to website URLs a QR Code can also contain a phone number - so
when it is scanned it prompts the user to call a particular number.
Similarly you can encode an SMS text message, V-card data or just plain
alphanumeric text. The smartphone or 2D barcode reading device will
automatically know which application to use to open the content embedded
within the QR Code.
