Yes, it is...but then again so is GSM 03.38 :)
We obviously "loose" characters (those marked with '?') when mapping from GSM default alphabet to latin1. We should use UTF-8 (unicode) instead?!We could, but we'd be giving up on 160-chars-long SMS. Besides, some (admittedly old) devices don't handle utf8 all too well...
If I understand correctly, your problem is that this isn't ``gsm_to_latin1'' any more. Maybe we could translate to/from iso-8859-7 for these chars. i.e. 0x10 would become 0xC4 which is greek capital delta on iso-8859-7. Thing is, my end application (and probably Kyriakos' too) was already prepared to handle this, so I simply didn't bother. If we're talking about integrating it properly to kannel, I think that's the best way to go. Maybe even have it as a configuration option.
That would only leave a problem with the Euro sign (double-byte 0x1B 0x65). Thoughts ?
