Hi, Are you sending the sms from a windows machine? Then you are sending windows-1252 charset, which is a superset of iso-8859-1. It defines additionally the range 0x80 - 0x9F, and guess what, the Euro symbol is 0x80, which is not defined in iso-8859-1. The best way to get Euro symbols is with utf-8 (your sms space is reduced, though).
Poor kannel is trying to do its best with an undefined symbol. If you want to save sms space try working with windows-1252. By the way 0xFFFF80 is an integer. The byte is the LSB, 0x80.

The charset sent by Kannel was ISO-8859-1. Euro symbol is not part of ISO-8859-1. How kannel is setting this up? The byte value of euro symbol which I get in Servlet is: ffffff80 Cheers.
