Question

I’m using sms1.cardboardfish.com to sens smses through the web. I have these datacoding schemes to work with:
0: Flash
1: Normal
2: Binary
4: UCS2
5: Flash UCS2
6: Flash GSM
7: Normal GSM
and I want to send it in hebrew. right now I’m sending it in 7: Normal GSM and it comes out scrambled.. Ideas anyone?

Answer 1

Send it in UCS2, which is normal UTF-16 encoding.

I think this should do the trick:

>>> a=u"שלום"
>>> a
u'\u05e9\u05dc\u05d5\u05dd'
>>> a.encode("utf_16_be").encode("hex")
'05e905dc05d505dd'
