Code 39
Code 39 (also called "Code 3 of 9") can represent the capital letters A through Z,
the numbers 0 to 9, the space character, and certain symbols. The name "3 of 9"
results from the convention that 3 of the nine elements used in the code are wide.

other version calculates the checksum from right to left (R>L).
