Hello to both,
Seik you are right in what you are saying but I have 2 comments ...
1) Text::iconv in perl is about 3 times slower than
Encode::decode/encode
2) greek can be encoded in 7bits plain GSM0338 instead of UCS-2 iff the
whole text is in caps and all some conversion is applied to it for some
characters ... Sending SMS's has a cost so why reduce the size to 70 when you
can have the full 160 chars with 7bit ... any how ... when it comes to concept
you are right ...
And yes we voted for Bulagria ... it was once of the best eurovision songs ...
:-)

in general,
try to encode from greek to ucs-2be
dont use mysql iconv functions, they are non reliable,
use perl Text::Iconv or php iconv() or whatever scripting/programming language
you are familiar with.
then hexencode the result, set data coding value to 2 and unset alt-dcs to -1.
thats it
i do that for Cyrilic cp1251 MT traffic
Cheers from Bulgaria, I still remember you guys voted for us in Eurovisia 2007
contest.
