Hello Jari,



Thank you for your message.

I wanted to use/input this charset, but I don't know how to do it:

It seems that the problem comes mainly from the use of the Windows CP1252 table.
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/sbcs/1252.mspx
*nix OS users can customized their table from their config, but it's not 
possible with Windows (only Win-tables are available).

BUT! I found interesting posts in the mailing-list archives from Chinese/Hong 
Kong users that did transmit chinese characters with Gnokii, by using files' 
input. Tomorrow I am going to do such tests with Unicode and UTF-8 
encoded-files. I will post an update to the mailing-list soon!
