but doesnt it look at each char and look it up in the dictionary? I think the parsing of the data to encode might have to be adjusted to just look for FNC1 or such instead of adding this?

Im going off memory so bare with me :)

I did this change before summer so my memory is a bit fuzzy. But I think that changing the parsing of the data would be a bigger change. This is just to make sure that the FNC1 character is replaced with the proper code.
And it doesn't feel that the parsing really need to be changed, it's just that the FNC1 char wasn't recognized as it wasn't in the entries. But that is just my take on it, it could be that I am missing something :)
I updated the test to prove what we are trying to do. So you can try and revert the entry and run the test to see the issue I'm trying to solve.
In current version if you try to add a GS1-C128 barcode with an initial FNC1 char and using dynamic C128 you will get the following error:
"System.Exception: EC128-3: Could not insert start and code characters.
Message: EC128-2: Could not determine start character."
This fix allows the FNC1 char to be added to the start of the barcode.
