Basically it is a charset interpretation... Kannel uses UTF-8 internally and spects to receive UTF-8. so it interprets anything in UTF-8 unless you tell kannel that the charset is not utf-8 but X. Therefore you need to configure your client to send utf-8 to kannel or to send the charset it uses to kannel.
A few days ago there was thread about greek chars. Take a look to it. It can clarify you the issue.
