Hello I am facing similer problem as discussed in the trailing mail. I am using kannel 1.4.1 on a CentOS system. I want to receive special Characters using kannel but whenever i am using characters like ^,~ etc in a message, I receive junk characters on the recipient handset. I am able to receive @,$,&,# character normally.
As per user manual, alt-charset number will be helpful, but I have tried all 3 values which are given alt_charserts.h file but no luck . Mannual also says that more values can be added to this file, but how ??. Can someone help me to resolve this problem?

I added the alt-charset things for Vodafone D2 here to the EMI/UCP module of Kannel. See user's guide section for UCP smsc group: http://www.kannel.org/download/kannel-userguide-snapshot/userguide.html#AEN1 382 where you find: alt-charset - number - Defines which character conversion kludge may be used for this specific link. Currently implemented alternative charsets are defined in "alt_charsets.h" and new ones can be added. and in alt_charsets.h: /* * for CMG's EMI/UCP, operators may use NCR (national representation * codes), like ISO 21 German for the german "Umlauts". * i.e. Vodafone D2 uses this charset kludges. */ #define EMI_NRC_ISO_21 3 this means setting: group = smsc smsc = emi ... alt-charset = 3 ... should do the kludge to use ISO 21 German representation for UCP/EMI connection and will map the ISO latin1 values internally. ;) Stipe
