it is tricky because most barcodes are not simply a pattern of vertical bars
representing the numbers (and letters), some expect a "reverse" pattern in
the mirror image half of the code, i.e in a code 10 characters long, the
pattern 10011 in position 1 would be expected to be 01100 in position 10,
pos 2 in pos 9 and so on.

here is a light-hearted yet informative page on barcodes
