Unicode characters showing as question marks


Mr.n

Recommended Posts

hey all,

 

I have an sms application created with php. i created the mysql db and it's working fine with utf-8 i can understand all the characters. Now when it comes to sms delivery when a unicode message is sent all the unicode characters like arabic or french accents appears as question marks.

Should i do something to encode the php variable as unicode? i am already encoding it as URL. If yes Please tell me what function can help to encode as utf-8

 

Thank you,

The encoding method depend on the SMS Getaway.

 

bulksms.co.uk              0061 => "a"

tm4b.com                    %61' => "a"

my-cool-sms.com          0061 => "a"

smsbts.com                  %00%61' => "a"

 

Tell me which SMS getaway using and that may help to find out thr right encoding.
