yury / gsm_encoder Goto Github PK

Hi,

I just tried your gem and like it very much, but I spoted one problem.

When I installed it by
gem install gsm_encoder
Version I got is one without last commit - can_encode?

Hello,

I've started using your library which worked fine until I've tried to send ä, ü or ö. These chars are very often used in the german language. They are always getting replaced with some different special chars.

Output:

latest :001 > GSMEncoder.encode("ä")
 => "{" 
latest :002 > GSMEncoder.encode("ü")
 => "~" 
latest :003 > GSMEncoder.encode("ö")
 => "|" 

I've fought it's only a displaying issue in the Ruby console but it isn't. Tested this with 2 different SMS gateway provider, they are always arriving wrongly.

Is there something that I need todo before I can send these chars? I'm 100% sure that these chars are available in the GSM charset. I can send them manually on my phone without any issues to other phones.

Regards
Alexander

Hi!

If I do GSMEncoder.encode('$') it retrieves "\x02". Why is that? '$' is included in GSM 03.38.

Thanks,
