Does iSMS support receiving german umlauts?

[Reto Husmann]

Hello Everybody,

I have trouble with receiving sms, which contains german umlauts like ‘ä’, ‘ö’ od ‘ü’.

The inbox on the admin web login also doesn’t get the umlauts right, it only showsme charcters like ‘”‘ or ‘}’.

I also changed the settings on the web to extended ASCII or UNICODE, but the umlauts are still wrong.

I use HTTP POST to send the sms to my web application. Are german umlauts supported by iSMS, and when yes, which encoding should I use?

Currently some special characters, such as the German umlauts, are not handled correctly. We are looking into the reasons for this.

For a work around, try using URL encoding for the special characters when sending the HTTP POST.

Below are the URL code values for the characters you mentioned:

ä = %E4

ë = %EB

ü = %F6
