Hi, I have a problem sending special characters in mobile terminated messages through Kannel.
The Setup: Debian (Sarge), Kannel 1.4.1 (from .deb packages), libxml 2.6.16-7 SMSC: Vodafone Germany, EMI The Problem: I want to send the following test message: ABCDäöüÄÖÜß Each time I send this message I receive ABCDäößÄÖ§ñ on the mobile phone. Here are my requests to kannel: ISO-8859-1 encoded: http://SERVER:PORT/cgi-bin/sendsms?user=USER&password=PASS&to=RECIPIENT&text=ABCD%e4%f6%fc%c4%d6%dc%df&charset=ISO-8859-1&from=SHORTNUMBER smsbox.log says: 2007-04-03 11:23:49 [762] [3] INFO: sendsms sender:<smsSender:SHORTNUMBER> (IPADDRESS) to:<RECIPIENT> msg:<ABCDäöüÄÖÜß> This at least tells me that the characters are transmitted to kannel correctly but on the mobile I receive ABCDäößÄÖ§ñ If I send the following UTF-8 encoded request: http://SERVER:PORT/cgi-bin/sendsms?user=USER&password=PASS&to=RECIPIENT&text=ABCD%c3%a4%c3%b6%c3%bc%c3%84%c3%96%c3%9c%c3%9f&charset=UTF-8&from=SHORTNUMBER smsbox.log says: 2007-04-03 11:29:12 [762] [3] INFO: sendsms sender:<smsSender:SHORTNUMBER> (IPADDRESS) to:<RECIPIENT> msg:<ABCDäöüÃ<84>Ã<96>Ã<9C>Ã<9F>> The Mobile still receives ABCDäößÄÖ§ñ It is interesting that at least ö, ä, Ö and Ä pass through correctly. How can I find out, why ü, Ü and ß get garbled? Regards, Markus
