RE: support for Greek characters

hi Peter
 
thanks for the response .  A couple of things.
 
what if i need it the other way around?  i have kannel bearerbox connected to the CMG SMSC and a user sends an SMS message, which contains greek chars.  The SMSC then sends this to Kannel and its all ??????.  so I need to be able to receive greek.
 
I am also interested in your communication with the bearerbox using VB..was this done via the smsbox using sendsms_user ?  (i.e. hitting a URL?)  I am planning to do this.

Mike,
 
I've had success with Arabic Characters using UTF-16BE. I took the unicode (this was in vb), swapped the byte pairs and submitted that to the bearerbox. All seems to work just fine.

hi all 

I am investigating using Kannel with a CMG smsc.  However, I need to be able use non latin character sets, specifically Greek.

I have found in charset.c that the function gsm_to_latin1 maps all greek chars to ?.  If I edit this file, replacing the ? with the correct greek chars will this work?  are there any other places i should be aware of wrt to character encoding?

all help is greatly received.
