  As you see in this Wikipedia article the QR Code supports simple alphanumeric ASCII text data.

  Perhaps the Cyrillic supporting QR Code service you find on the web is really encoding via binary byte data.  This is possible in BarTender too, but it raises the complexity of getting your text into binary encoded format.  See screen shot for the barcode settings.

   

  You'll probably need to experiment a bit, but I guess you'd need to get the ordinary text character into its binary Unicode value equivalent.  You can do this one character at a time by using the AscW() function in VB script, creating a loop to iterate through each character in turn.  A bit complex to say the least which is why I suggest you try a different symbology that natively supports the text data you wish to encode.
