Checklist

Describe the bug

$sepa_qr_code_raw creates a qr-code which seems unreadable by banking app.

## Data output if plain iOS QR code scanner

BCD (Header)
002 (Version)
1 (1 = UTF-8)
SCT (SEPA Credit Transfer)
<BIC> (correct)
<ACCOUNT_OWNER_NAME> (correct)
<IBAN> (correct)
<AMOUNT_IN_CURRENCY> (correct)
EMPTY_LINE (Should have payment reference I guess; Unsure if needed/or problematic if emtpy)
<INVOICE_NUMBER> (correct;Payment description;)

If I try to read the QR code with my banking App it says: Can't read the code.

Expected Behavior

iOS builtin -> Open Banking App Banking App -> Create payment

Additional context

Maybe it came along with the new raw/rendered modes. I know for sure this was working in previous versions and at least at the initial installation of IN. Tested the QR code in invoice and mail bodytext. Perhaps there's a hidden character where it should not.

Screenshots

### Screenshot notice translation

Unknown QR code. 
This code does not contain any payment information. Please scan another QR code
or take a picture of the invoice.
