Hi Brian,

You may need to encode the characters if they are delivered via URL. See section 2.2 of RFC 1738:

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt

This may also be of use:

http://www.ozzu.com/website-design-forum/can-have-special-characters-url-names-t73983.html

http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.asp

So, the following might work:

http://192.168.0.4:81/sendmsg?user=bn&passwd=xxxxxx&cat=1&enc=2&to=”11111111″&text=test-%C3%A6-%C3%B8-%C3%A5

Hi Brian,

You need to convert the characters to the Unicode hex or decimal values and separate these values with semicolons.

For example, here are the hex values for “test-æ-ø-å”:

t = 0074

e = 0065

s = 0073

t = 0074

– = 002D

æ = 00E6

– = 002D

ø = 00D8

– = 002D

å = 00E5

So a Http Unicode Hex sendmsg request should be sent as:

http://192.168.0.4:81/sendmsg?user=bn&passwd=xxxxxx&cat=1&enc=2&to=”11111111″&text=0074;0065;0073;0074;002D;00E6;002D;00D8;002D;00E5

You can find more information in the User Guide at the link below on page 89.

Hej Bryon

There is a bug in the way the sms gateway translate danish ø

In php i use utf8_decode to get danish special char æ ø å

$message = utf8_decode($_POST);

æ Æ å Å is displayed fine

But small ø gives a blank

And big Ø gives a ¥ – yen

$message = str_replace(chr(248),’%F8′, $message);

Still gives blank instead of ø
