To say QR code it's: código QR. 'QR code' is that new square mosaic black & white pattern that's starting to appear everywhere -- magazines, products and now -- the sidewalk in Ipanema (Rio de Janeiro). They are taking over old-fashioned barcodes because they can be read by smartphones and link to things like websites.
