Consequently, gnokii thinks the character set is ISO-8859-1, not
ISO-8859-15. How can I force this?
You may try to use unicode. I'll look closer at this soon.
Much appreciated. Using 'e' as a replacement for Euro in text messages
is an ugly hack I'd like to get rid of. :)
I tried unicode first, since the ChangeLog said that it's supported.
This broke everything else, like 'ä', 'ö', and other high-bit Latin1
chars. The locale was set to en_GB.UTF-8, and I could type all the
characters on the keyboard on Mac OS X, using the supplied Terminal
program configured for UTF-8. This was very nice, but didn't co-operate
with gnokii at all.
What flavour of Unicode exactly is supported? I realize that UTF-8 is
but a subset of Unicode. Does gnokii understand the real Unicode Euro
symbol at character position 8364 (hex 20AC)? Tried it out with:
perl -e 'print "\x20\xac"' | gnokii --sendsms ...
But this showed up as '???' on my Nokia 3330, which is capable of
displaying the Euro symbol.
