Escape > in Code128 Barcode, ZPL

Question

I'm sending print commands with ZPL II to our Zebra printer.

I need to print a barcode for this string:

3CDkionk>Jc

Right now my ZPL code is this:

^FT19,200^BY3^BCN,70,N,N,N,N^FD3CDkionk>Jc^FS

The last 3 characters (>JC) won't be encoded in the barcode. I think the problem is that > is a special character for Code 128 Barcodes in ZPL, as it is used to change the Subset.

Is there a way to escape it? Since the character is in the subset, I'm expecting to be able to use it somehow.

According to the ZPL manual, you should be able to use >0J to get a >J

Oh that's how you read it! Is the first character (invocation code ><) a space? – David Corsalini Feb 02 '17 at 14:04
No, I got a '^' from the first code '><'. I had thought the blank meant it was unsupported for that subset. – charlesbridge Feb 02 '17 at 17:45
