0x5F is the underscore in ASCII (and Latin1, and Unicode), but it is the section sign (�) in the GSM default character set. Something isn't getting converted properly coming from the users' handsets--try some of the other characters that don't share code points in GSM0338 and Unicode to confirm that. You can work those out from http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/ETSI/GSM0338.TXT and http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UnicodeData.txt . -- "These are the prettiest looking witnesses we have had in a long time.
