Description
### Description
Recently, the official Brazilian government decreed a new rule requiring that the CNPJ include not only digits, but also capital letters. This rule will come into effect in July 2026. At this time, most of systems are adapting. It would be interesting if we could generate a cnpj in this new format. I've tried to open a pull request with this feature, but without succeeded.
### LINQPad Code Example
```c#
public static class ExtensionsForBrazil
{
private static readonly int[] CnpjFirstDigitWeights = [5,4,3,2,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2];
private static readonly int[] CnpjSecondDigitWeights = [6,5,4,3,2,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2];
private const string AlphaNumericChars = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789";
private const string NumericChars = "0123456789";
///
/// Cadastro Nacional da Pessoa Jurídica
///
/// Includes formatting symbols.
public static string Cnpj(this Company c, bool includeFormatSymbols = true, bool includeOnlyDigits = false, bool includeOnlyAlphaNumerics = false)
{
string chars;
if (includeOnlyDigits)
chars = NumericChars;
else if (includeOnlyAlphaNumerics)
chars = AlphaNumericChars;
else
chars = c.Random.Bool() ? NumericChars : AlphaNumericChars;
var cnpj = "";
for (var i = 0; i < 8; i++)
cnpj += chars[c.Random.Int(0, chars.Length - 1)];
cnpj += "0001";
var firstDigit = CalculateDigit(cnpj, CnpjFirstDigitWeights);
cnpj += firstDigit;
var secondDigit = CalculateDigit(cnpj, CnpjSecondDigitWeights);
cnpj += secondDigit;
if ( includeFormatSymbols )
cnpj = $"{cnpj[0]}{cnpj[1]}.{cnpj[2]}{cnpj[3]}{cnpj[4]}.{cnpj[5]}{cnpj[6]}{cnpj[7]}/{cnpj[8]}{cnpj[9]}{cnpj[10]}{cnpj[11]}-{cnpj[12]}{cnpj[13]}";
return cnpj;
}
private static int CalculateDigit(string cnpj, int[] weights)
{
var sum = cnpj.Select((value, i) => (value - '0') * weights[i]).Sum();
var remainder = sum % 11;
return remainder < 2 ? 0 : 11 - remainder;
}
}
```

Research direction
Start by locating the CNPJ entry point and compare its behavior with the LINQPad Code Example, especially ExtensionsForBrazil.Cnpj and CalculateDigit. Check how the existing generator handles formatting and numeric values. Done means CNPJ generation supports the new alphanumeric format while preserving the requested output options and correct check digits.
