Hi, As correctly stated, although iso-8859-7 has some unused space, Euro sign is not supported. To send Greek characters with euro sign in 1 byte, you have to use GSM. Euro sign is then in the extended GSM section. You will have also to add support from your application. You need to map all Greek chars that you need to equivalent upper case Latin chars without accents. i.e:
ά -> A β -> B etc. The few that cannot be mapped to Latin you will have to map in your application to their equivalent binary code and send their value as GSM. That includes the Euro sign (0x1B 0x65) HTH, Nikos On Sat, Aug 13, 2011 at 2:07 AM, Eduardo <[email protected]> wrote: > I am dealing with a project where we need to send MTs with greek characters > but also the Euro symbol. > I don´t want to encode the message as binary because it would only allow > half of the 160 characters, since each greek char would use 2 bytes. > > I have tried using coding=0 and charset=ISO-8859-7 and greek chars get > delivered just fine, but I can´t get the Euro symbol to go through because > it belongs to ISO-8859-15. > Does anyone know of any combination of data_coding and charset that would > achieve both greek chars and Euro symbol without using 2 bytes per char? > > Thanks, > Eduardo >
