1. data_coding must be set to 0x08 (instructs the SMSC to use UCS-2 encoding - see section 5.2.19 in the SMPP protocol specification for other data codings)
2. When setting the message content, it must be encoded with UTF16
Here's some partial source code to demonstrate the point:
SubmitSM request = new SubmitSM();
request.setDataCoding( 0x08 ); // UCS-2
request.setShortMessage( messageText, Data.ENC_UTF16 );
It's worth noting that the maximum message length is reduced from 160 characters to 70 characters when using UCS-2.

I have a question, the 'messageText' shall be UCS2 hex or actual content?
It should be the actual content. There's no need to hex encode it.
Can you please tell me which encoding i use to send SMS contains special characters (like é à ù )and its length is more than 70 C.
Hi andy,
I also want to know how we can send international SMS with length more then 70.
Regards
How about umlaut characters ? I tried to send with opensmpp and they're displayed as question marks. Referring to this page:

It said that umlaut is already included in 7 bit SMS encoding.
