On Kubuntu 11.10, my barcode scanner output this for a given barcode (an ISBN of a French book):
çè_éé&é&é'-"è

On an Ubuntu 10.04, the same barcode reader for the same barcode do output this:
9782212124637

This last one is, as you guess, the correct string.

PS: a barcode reader is just like a keyboard input device; it works out
of the box (well, on an old Ubuntu 10.04 at least.
