Thanks for testing. The question marks should be Greek characters. I am implementing an old Kannel version now, just because of this.
Patched sqlbox so that it works without meta-data and I do get the proper characters on my hand set when I insert that string into send_sms. == Rene From: Emmanuel CHANSON [mailto:emmanuelchan...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, 11 August, 2010 23:40 To: Rene Kluwen Cc: users@kannel.org Subject: Re: GSM characters FYI, I tested your command with lastest Kannel SVN and I got: @£$¥?????_?????????^{}\[~]|???!"#¤%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?¡ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ?? §¿abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz?ü Note: I have in my case cgi-script -> smsbox -> sqlbox -> bearerbox Regards, Emmanuel 2010/8/11 Rene Kluwen <rene.klu...@chimit.nl> The weird thing is: This string works in Kannel 1.4.1. Kannel 1.4.3 and further do some kind of character set processing. Does that mean that greek characters in these versions cannot be sent anymore? Requirement is to have gsm encoding in the sendsms url. How do I do that? == Rene From: users-boun...@kannel.org [mailto:users-boun...@kannel.org] On Behalf Of Rene Kluwen Sent: Wednesday, 11 August, 2010 18:02 To: users@kannel.org Subject: GSM characters Suppose I send the following text to Kannel’s sendsms url (the complete GSM character set): text=%40%A3%24%A5%E8%E9%F9%EC%F2%C7%D8%F8%C5%E5%10_%12%13%14%15%16%17%18%19%1A%5E%7B%7D%5B%7E%5D%7C%80%C6%E6%DF%C9%21%22%23%A4%25%26%27%28%29%2A%2B%2C-.%2F0123456789%3A%3B%3C%3D%3E%3F%A1ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ%C4%D6%D1%DC%A7%BFabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz%E4%F6%F1%FC%E0 Then I should get the following text on my phone: @£$¥èéùìòÇØøÅåΔ_ΦΓΛΩΠΨΣΘΞ^{}\[~]|€ÆæßÉ!"#¤%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?¡ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZÄÖÑܧ¿abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzäöñüà However, I get a different display string. The Greek characters are substituted for question marks. Is this my phone that is acting up? Maybe somebody can test this string for me? My upstream connection is SMPP that accepts the GSM character set. So alt-charset is not needed. == Rene -- Emmanuel CHANSON Emmanuel Mobile Nouvelle-Calédonie: +687.77.35.02 Mobile France: +33 (0) 6.68.03.89.56 @email : emmanuelchan...@gmail.com
