Hi Rajeev,

Thanks for your assistance. Much appreciated.

This is the scenario. I have Sqlbox connected to Kannel. I am using it to
send messages to an external SMSC by inserting messages directly into the
send_sms table of SQLBOX, which in-turn send out the messages. It is
working OK with English Alphabet characters, but when I insert French
characters to the send_sms table of SQLBOX, using the command (
INSERT INTO send_sms (charset,coding,momt, sender, receiver,dlr_url,
msg_text)
VALUES ('utf-8',2,'MT', '8008' ,'+25463232333', 'http://url', 'test déjà')
) the characters are corrupted and this is what appears.
"Test+d%C3%A9j%C3%A0"

To test if database encoding is working : i tried the command below on a
test table called tbl_outgoing,
INSERT into tbl_outgoing (msg_text) values ( 'test déjà');
it works fine.
Select msg_text from tbl_outgoing ;
result is :
*msg_text *
'test déjà'

Why is SQLBOX's insertion of French characters not working?

Thanks a lot for your assistance. Much appreciated.
