Hey everyone, I posted a message regarding this awhile ago, but didn't understand enough at the time to properly formulate my question.
The problem is this, a number of the SMSC's we're connected to send us data in different character sets. Sometime it is the latin iso standard character set, other times its the GSM character set, and othertimes its in unicode. Whats even stranger, is that these three character sets can come from the SAME phone through the SAME SMSC depending on what characters I send our number. I.E. if I just send plain text, it is often just the iso standard latin set. If I send a semi special character like _ it seems to be the GSM character set. And if I use an extended character like a [ or ] square bracket, the entire SMS will arrive in unicode! This is all fine and dandy as I'm able to view the data_coding variable via a CGI variable passed onto my webserver. However, I'm wondering if there is a way to get KANNEL to do some of the conversion work for me. I.e. can I get it to convert down to the latin character set for me? Or must I do that myself? If I have to do it myself, it means I need to have several converters capable of going GSM -> latin, unicode -> latin, and possibly others. Any suggestions on simplifying that conversion? I.e. can kannel do it for me? Thanks, Bryce
