Unicode characters in SMS messages sent from DHIS2

 

Hi. I wanted to see what people's mileage was attempting to send SMS
messages from the DHIS2 server via Clickatell with non-Latin characters
(specifically Nepalese which has  been UTF-8 encoded). The SMS when
received by a device capable of rendering UTF-8 in this language does not
display the characters, but rather the UTF-8 escape sequence as text. Tried
to send the same text through Skype (to be sure it was not an operator
issue) and it came out fine.

Any ideas?

Best regards,
Jason
