RE: Inverted Exclamation mark and question mark issue.

Hi There,

Thanks for replying, I already tested using that parameter, but I keep receiving “B?”.
Below are the debug log.

However it works correctly when sending with coding=2, but by using that it halved the SMS length.  Appreciate your help in this.

Cheers,

Hi,

you have to send in UTF-8 with coding=0 (for inverted exclamation mark: text=%C2%A1&coding=0).
If it doesn’t work please check your smpp debug logs and check if submit_sm has correct values in message body
and if yes then SMSC doing something wrong.

Thanks,
Alex

Hello Users,

I’m having an issue with sending both inverted exclamation mark (¡) and inverted question mark (¿) , it seems like it was converted to B! and B? instead.

Tried with all below parameter but none working except for UCS-2 which I want to avoid.
