Standard SMS Converter

This section describes the Standard SMS Converter and the alphabet it supports.

Introduction

The Standard SMS Converter is a built-in converter based on the GSM 7-bit encoding. This converter is identified by the KCharacterSetIdentifierSms7Bit UID, which is defined in the charconv.h header file. To better understand the different character set of each SMS converter, the Standard SMS Converter is set as the baseline. Any differences or additions to the character set of Standard SMS Converter are listed.

For all of the converters, any undefined Unicode is converted to a question mark (?)–GSM code 0x37. Any code outside GSM 0x00 ~0x7F is converted to the Unicode replacement character 0xFFFD.

Alphabet

The highlighted boxes in Figure 1 illustrate the alphabet of the standard SMS converter:

  • GSM 7-bit default alphabet

  • GSM 7-bit default alphabet extension table

  • Extra lossy conversions–shown as Lossy Characters 1 in Figure 4.

For information about the GSM 7-bit default alphabet and extension table, see 3GPP TS 23.038 V8.1.0. The table below lists the extra lossy conversions supported by the standard converter.
