QR codes are typically used to encode a website url, in which case the "Alphanumeric" format has to be used (the encoded data can consist of upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and certain allowed symbols).
If you have a long url like `https://ohnoihavealongurl.com` (29 characters), the chart shows that it would not fit in a 21x21 QR code; its max capacity is 25 alphanumeric chars. But it's within the 47-char capacity of the 29x29 size.
