This produces a PNG file: qr.exe content --ascii --output=qrcode.txt
This produces an error: qr.exe content --ascii>qrcode.txt
(The error is: UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u2588' in position 0: character maps to ). It happens regardless of whether I force ANSI (with /A) or Unicode (with /U).
Workaround: To create a QRCode file with (extended) ascii characters, invoke:
qr.exe content --ascii and then copy the characters from the console and paste into the file.
Perhaps this is a bug in just the documentation; qr -h says "--ascii Print as ascii even if stdout is piped."

Please let me know if you need any more info or testing.
