Turkish National Language Support

This section describes the plug-in converters for Turkish national language support and the alphabet each converter supports.

Introduction

To convert a Turkish SMS message using the National Language Encoding, Symbian provides three Turkish plug-in converters:

Default GSM7 Turkish Single Converter. The highlighted boxes in Figure 1 show that it supports the default GSM 7-bit alphabet, the Turkish single shift alphabet and the set of lossy conversions supported by the standard converter. This converter is identified by the KCharacterSetIdentifierTurkishSingleSms7Bit UID, which is defined in the charconv.h header file.

Note: 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

To better understand the different character set of each converter, the Standard SMS Converter is set as the baseline. The following comparison tables help identify the different character set supported by each Turkish converter as a comparison to the standard SMS converter.
