Ok. Before we think about real unicode, as we usually inject iso-8859-1 when we are sending a message, if (and only if) you set mo-recode = true in smsbox group, smsbox will try to recode the ucs2 to iso-8859-1 when it receive a message.
As usually, if you don't want it, just don't set mo-recode and everything will be just like before.

If the keyword would be ASCII then we woulndt have any > Unicode. of course you would - you forget that the ASCII chars in ISO-8859 and single-byte chars in UTF-8 are bitwise identical. if you write a keyword using "low ISO-8859-1" (characters where only 7 bits are in use) and try to match it to the same word written in UTF-8, you'll have a match. OTOH - if you wrote the keyword in mutli-byte UTF-8, one would expect that to match this keyword one would have to send a SM in unicode. note: ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is defined as 7 bit and often used as 8bit by adding a 0 bit at the front of each char. i.e. - as long as you use on the "low" range (0-127) characters of ISO-8859-1 in the config file, it doesn't matter if its ASCII or UTF-8. it only matter if you attempt to use weirder stuff (not sure where in ISO-8859-8 are the accented chracters, but I guess that some of these do fall in the "high" range). when that is the case- we should pick a coding and stick to it : I'd suggest to go with UTF-8, otherwise we either don't have unicode support, or we have a headache ;-) -- Oded Arbel m-Wise Inc.
