Unicode is represented in hex, each character takes at least 2-bytes (depends on the charset you use)
in case of 2-bytes per each character like UCS2: you have 70 characters limit for the SMS part, but if the SMS has more than one part (>70 characters) then each 67 characters (134 bytes) will be split into one part Best Regards, Mohammed M I Sleem http://www.abusleem.net - Personal blog http://www.freakle.com - The Search Freak <http://www.colorle.com> On Thu, Dec 16, 2010 at 2:47 PM, JAmes <jam...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > When sending a unicode sms, the character count is about 500-520 > characters. > > When looking in the kannel-access log file, its showing like this: > > [msg:956:0051004E00650074 .........
