How to send an SMS in hebrew with clickatell


How can I send an SMS in hebrew through Clickatell?

It arrives on the device as gibberish.


Solution

  • Is it in unicode ? If I remember correctly they require unicode to be escaped into hexadecimal representation. This should be in their docs.

    However, I found out when I did this that this is not the only issue, many phones do not support displaying unicode characters properly.

    Also, sending unicode may incur a higher cost since it may be split up.
