The userguide is your friend: If enabled, Kannel will try to convert received messages with UCS2 charset to ISO-8859-1 or to UTF-8, simplifying external servers jobs. If Kannel is able to recode messages, it will also change coding to 7 bits and charset to iso-88590-1 or to utf-8.
In other words, "mo-recode=true" will only try to convert UCS2 (the double byte messages).
