The 7 bit default alphabet of GSM phones
This table gives you information about the GSM 7 bit alphabet
used in text SMS messages. To see how you can send special symbols
and international characters, please read the following document:
SMS character set handling and multipart messages
Your PC and your GSM phone use two different character sets:
the ISO-8859-1 and the GSM 7 bit alphabet. Ozeki NG - SMS Gateway converts
automatically between the corresponding character codes in these two tables.
In some cases the automatic conversion might not fit your needs. If you want
to be sure that a specific GSM character is used in your SMS message, you can
enter its Hex value into the message. Before reading the explanation of how
this is possible, please take a look at the characters that there are
there in GSM.

If you wish to use any of these characters,
you can do it by entering a special string into your SMS messages. For example,
if you wish to add a new line character you should enter \0x0A instead of pressing
the enter key (Figure 1). Make sure you write out all the characters of this code.
It is a five-character-string!
Figure 1 - Using the new line character
If you wish to receive SMS messages with a new line character, you need to
set up the function in the GSM modem configuration window (Figure 2).
Figure 2 - Setting up the new line character for incoming messages
To send characters that require more than one byte,
use the format in Figure 3 below.
Figure 3 - Including a euro sign (€) in the message
Note: Please use version v6.3.2 or a more recent one for proper
character encoding.
