This is my code for the ZPL label:
^XA^FS^FT215,210^A0N,28,28^FH^FD300 mg (1 ½ tablet)^XZ
but it shows like this:
I want it to be shown as ½, any suggestions?
You need to switch to UTF-8 encoding using ^CI28:
^XA^CI28^FT215,210^A0N,28,28^FD300 mg (1 ½ tablet)^FS^XZ
This label is shown correct in the Labelary Online ZPL Viewer, but the printer Zebra ZD410 doesn't print the ½ symbol...is it a problem of compatibility?

I am trying to print a barcode (code 39) to a label (2" x .75") on a Zebra ZT610 (600 DPI) printer, but none of our 3 barcode scanners will decode the barcode. We are encoding a 14-character alphanumeric value. I created the label using ZebraDesigner, and passed the ZPL to the printer using Zebra Setup Utilities. I also use Labelary to check the label, and change parameter values.
I have tried every conceivable combination of the ^BY and ^B3 commands I can think of, that would fit on the label, including shortening the data for testing (encode only 8 characters). Here is the latest ZPL with a barcode that should be well within the label's printable area, but scanners will not read it:
^XA~JSN^LT0^MNM^MTT^PON^PMN^LH0,0^JMA^PR2,2~SD15^JUS^LRN^CI0^XZ

Unreadable label image:
We also have an old Zebra R110Xi4 (203 DPI) printer that we also print code 39 barcodes to, on the same labels. The barcodes on these labels are perfectly readable by the scanners. This is the ZPL for it:
^XA~JSN^LT0^MNM^MTT^PON^PMN^LH0,0^JMA^PR8,8~SD30^JUS^LRN^CI0^XZ

Are there any suggestions as to what I might try next?

I am trying to print Vietnamese text on my Zebra label using Zpl coding.
But i am getting issues in vietnamese characters. For example, i am trying to print a label with text "Nhập khẩu" but it is giving me the output "Nh p kh u", thus missing the Vietnamese fonts.
I have tried using Andale and Swiss font and also declaring the ^CI28 tag for printing various characters in utf-8 encoding.
If anyone else has any other inputs, please let me know.. thanks in advance..
EDIT:
This is the code i am using..

Have you tried google's Noto fonts?
https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Noto+Sans
I have used them to render Vietnamese. If that doesn't work, post the sample ZPL you have tried and we can work through it.
Here is some example ZPL. This assumes the Noto Sans font is saved to the printer as E:NOTOSANS.TTF:

But instead of printing the special characters, they are omited, I've checked that the special font used (Stingray) contains all those characters, I don't know how to print them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Edit: I actually fixed it by using ^CI27 instead of ^CI28 since I have an older version of the Zebra firmware that doesn't support ^CI28
Here's something simple that works with some of the text you have:

My question is about printing French characters with an acute like: é è à ô etc. with a Zebra P4t printer.
Consider the ZPL instructions below:
^XA
^FO20,20
^CI28
^A0,20,20
^FD
Amitié
^FS
^XZ
I have put these instructions into a file encoded as UTF-8.
When I send this file to a Zebra GK420t printer, I get the expected result concerning the character with an acute é at the end of the French word Amitié that you can see above. It is printed properly.
Now, when I send this very same file to a Zebra P4t printer it prints something like |-® instead of the é character.
The firmware of the printer is SHCPT11z48.
Alos, if you consider the ZPL instructions below:
^XA
^FO20,60
^A0,20,20
^FD
Amitié
^FS
^XZ
I have put these instructions into a file encoded as ANSI.
Now, when I send this very same file to a Zebra P4t printer it prints Ú instead of the é character.
I really don't see where this character Ú is coming from.
What can I do to solve that problem?
Is a font missing in the printer?
Am I not sending compatible ZPL instructions?
Thank you and best regards.
You have to prefix the field with UTF-8 characters with ^FH (Field Hexadecimal Indicator) and replace every UTF-8 character with their unicode hexadecimal code prefixed by an _ (list, example for é):
^XA
^FO20,20
^CI28
^A0,20,20
^FD
Amiti_C3_A9
^FS

Simple solution without having to replace anything:
After the opening tag ^XA add ^CI28.

I have simple label created in ZPL language for Zebra printer.
I want to enlarge the size of the text below the barcode.
I tried to find solution in web and I used command ^ADN,40 - text was moved to the left position.
My label is here:

You can also test it online
Labelary Online ZPL Viewer
According to Zebra's ZPL docs:
The font specified by command ^A is used only once for that ^FD entry.
If a value for ^A is not specified again, the default ^CF font is used
for the next ^FD entry.
So, I suggest you to try the following code:
^XA^JZN
^BY3^FS
^FO68,35^ADN,40^FD TRW ORS 34186401A^FS
^FO30,69^GB568,0,6^FS

^FO49,83
^BC,126,Y,N,N,N
^ADN,40^FD>;8640>61AAH44300E
^FS
^PQ1,,,
^XZ
If necessary, you can also change the "D" font by another bigger bitmapped font, as "F", "Q", etc.
