The encoding for magnetic stripe data follows a common standard. The magnetic stripe consists of 3 physically separated 'tracks'. Track 1 is closest to the bottom of the card, and track 3 is the highest. Square's reader is positioned to read track 2. Track 2 is the most commonly used track, but most credit cards also use track 1. Track 2 includes card numbers and expiration dates. Track 1 includes that plus names. There may be other data too, depending on the particular card. These tracks are specced to be .11 inches wide, so to read track 1 with Square's reader, we just need to reposition the stripe so that track 1 is lined up with the read head.
Data in each track is encoded via magnetic domain flipping. Long story short: The series of domain flips encodes a waveform, that waveform is interpreted as binary. A binary 0 in this encoding is some arbitrary frequency. A 1 is twice that frequency.
The data starts with a set of leading zeros to establish the base frequency. After a variable number of zeros, the start sentinel appears. For track 2, the start sentinel is ';'. Each character is encoded as a integer with the least significant bits first. For track 2, each character consists of 4 data bits and 1 parity bit. The parity bit is set for each character so that the number of 1s is odd. If you add 48 (the ASCII encoding for '0') to the integer value for each character, you get the ASCII character to display. Other than the digits '0' through '9', track 2 can also encode some other characters, including ';' (start sentinel), '=' (field separator), and '?' (end sentinel). ':', '<', and '>' are not used much in practice.
