Hi,
I was reading gwlib/charset.c to understand how the Latin-1 to GSM 7bit
alphabet translation works. I found that :
/* [ is an escaped < */
/* \ is an escaped / */
/* ] is an escaped > */
/* ^ is an escaped Greek Lambda */
and :
/* This is the extension table defined in GSM 03.38. It is the mapping
* used for the character after a GSM 27 (Escape) character. All characters
* not in the table, as well as characters we can't represent, will map
* to themselves. We cannot represent the euro symbol, which is an escaped
* 'e', so we left it out of this table. */
static const struct {
int gsmesc;
int latin1;
} gsm_escapes[] = {
{ 10, 12 }, /* ASCII page break */
{ 20, '^' },
{ 40, '{' },
{ 41, '}' },
...
I read GSM 03.38 and I didn't find anything about that extension table. What
I am sure is that my Nokia 7110 receive a "(" when sending "{". Is there any
portable which interprets "ESC-(" differently than my 7110 (ie "ESC-(" is
equivalent to "(") ?
If not, what is the interest of that translation which wastes 1 character
("{" is coded as "ESC-(" for ex.)
Thanks in advance for your help. Gildas.
Gildas.
