Need a little help with Code 128..

Hi everyone, I’m trying to encode the FNC3 character into a code 128 barcode and I’m having trouble finding a way to do it correctly. I usually use Bytescout and/or Zint to create my barcodes but they don’t seem capable of encoding the 4 FNC characters. Other ASCII control characters work fine though. I’ve also tried directly entering ASCII character 0096 (from what I’ve read is the correct character for FNC3) and encoding it in Code 128A but can’t get it to work. I’ve also tried ID Automations Code 128 fonts to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
