Extended SMS Converter

The Extended SMS Converter uses the lossy mechanism to extend the alphabet of the standard converter. It maps a wider set of input character codes, including commonly-used Eastern European Unicode characters, to the standard 7-bit alphabet. This section describes the Extended SMS Converter and the alphabet it supports.

Introduction

Languages supported by this converter include Croatian, Czech, Estonian, Hungarian, Icelandic, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Romanian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Turkish, Portuguese and Spanish. This converter is identified by the KCharacterSetIdentifierExtendedSms7Bit UID, which is defined in the charconv.h file.

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 extended SMS converter:

Extra lossy conversions–exclude 9 characters listed in Table 2
Extended lossy conversions–shown as Lossy Characters 2 in Figure 1.

Table 1 lists the extra lossy conversions supported by this converter in addition to those supported by the standard converter.
