No, please don't do that. Kannel does this for you transparently. Doing it twice would be bad. You just make sure that the characters fed to kannel are true 7bit ASCII, when using coding=0, i.e. no accents, no unicode.
How kannel will encode & transmit that information over the network is kannel's problem.

These septets need to be transformed into octets for the SMS transfer. h e l l o h e l l o 104 101 108 108 111 104 101 108 108 111 1101000 1100101 1101100 1101100 1101111 1101000 1100101 1101100 1101100 1101111 1101000 110010 1 11011 00 1101 100 110 1111 11 01000 1 100101 1101100 1101100 110111 1 The first septet (h) is turned into an octet by adding the rightmost bit of the second septet. This bit is inserted to the left which yields 1 + 1101000 = 11101000 ("E8"). The rightmost bit of the second character is then consumed, so the second character (septet) needs two bits (yellow) of the third character to make an 8bit octet. This process goes on and on yielding the following octets: 1 1101000 00 110010 100 11011 1111 1101 01000 110 100101 11 1101100 1 1 1101100 110111 E8 32 9B FD 46 97 D9 EC 37 The 9 octets from "hellohello" are E8 32 9B FD 46 97 D9 EC 37 So I need to send the above Hex String “E8 32 9B FD 46 97 D9 EC 37” via Kannel and receive it correctly.
