Re: strange character encode errors with SMPP!! help

I'm using SMPP and found similar problems, but put it down to the character
set that the operator was using - which they told me was HP Roman-1..
I found (by sending every hex value form 0x00 to 0xFF) that I needed to
convert certain characters to a different value before sending in order to
get them to display. Namely:

$text =~ s/%40/%7c/g;     # @ symbol
$text =~ s/%24/%a4/g;     # $ symbol
$text =~ s/%5F/%a7/g;     # _ symbol

I do this on a text message after URL encoding it..

I also found the following:
    0x80 = euro symbol
    0xE4 = £

Apologies if this isn't relevant.

Regards,

David.
