i think in addition to coding=2, you also need to change the Mysql table charset
ALTER TABLE `send_sms` CHANGE `msgdata` `msgdata` TEXT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_estonian_ci NULL , ROW_FORMAT=DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_general_ci ; ALTER TABLE `sent_sms` CHANGE `msgdata` `msgdata` TEXT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_estonian_ci NULL , ROW_FORMAT=DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_general_ci ; in above query i have changed only `msgdata` field, i think batter you also change the following fields as well. these can also receive the unicoded data if you are getting messges from SMPP (openSMPP) `sender` `dlr_url``boxc_id` `meta_data` specially the Sender, in case of SMPP On Tue, Aug 13, 2013 at 9:22 AM, dorin <dorinafte...@mail.ru> wrote: > thanks for your reply spameden, but coding=2 didn't helped me. > > On 12.08.2013 18:55, spameden wrote: > > use &coding=2 > > > 2013/8/12 dorin <dorinafte...@mail.ru> > >> Hello! >> Have such trouble, I can't send utf8 data via sqlbox.
