Re: French characters

[Nikos Balkanas]

Hi,

The obvious answer would be to use utf-8. However that is very inefficient 
since you waiste about half of your available chars.

There has been a patch by Stipe, which will convert any non-ASCII chars to 
non used GSM chars as per GSM-3.38, but it is offered to him as part of 
kannel CG. We are using this without problems for Greek in our commercial 
applications. I am not sure of the copyright status.

@Stipe: AFAIK the GSM-3.38 patch has not made it to opensource kannel. What 
are the copyrights to it?

BR,
Nikos

Hi List,

According to the GSM 03.38 encoding spec. The characters listed below should 
be
sendable using the GSM encoding.

@£$¥èéùìò�øÅå_FG????ST?Ææ�É
!"#¤%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?¡ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZÄÖÑ�§¿abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzäöñüà 
^{}\[~]|€

I’m however unable to send most French , Latin or Greek characters using 
kannel.
In particular I’m unable to send the following characters

- �éùìò äöñüà äöñüà �øÅå_F

Is there anyone who is successfully sending French / Latin /Greek characters
using Kannel with GSM encoding?
Could you please post a configuration which works ..?

Kind regards.
