Problems with calendar notes

[Daniele Forsi]

I'm using a Nokia 3330 (firmware 04.30) with the command

gnokii --getcalendarnote 1 -v

before the text of the note I get a leading byte (counted in the length) 
which seems to be a charset or encoding indicator. A quick test with 
currencies shows a 3 for Euro, a 2 for Yen and 1 for Dollar/plain ASCII 
(it is always in front of the string regardless of the position of the sign)

Text is <Euro sign>123
01 08 00 67 01 01 10 17 01 08 2a 07 0d 01 03 00 |    g      *
00 00 00 01 00 66 01 07 03 e2 82 ac 31 32 33    |      f    123

Text is <Yen sign>123
01 08 00 67 01 01 10 15 01 08 2a 07 0d 01 03 00 |    g      *
00 00 00 01 00 66 01 05 02 a5 31 32 33          |      f   123

Text is $123
01 08 00 67 01 01 10 15 01 08 2a 07 0d 01 03 00 |    g      *
00 00 00 01 00 66 01 05 01 24 31 32 33          |      f   $123

Even in this last case, the $ is not visible in the shell because of the 
a leading 0x01, this is what I get with cut and paste

but hexdump shows the "invisible" chars.

The problem is worse with --writecalendarnotes because the phone gets 
confused and displays a number of boxes in place of the text.

I browsed other driver sources (nk6510 and nk7110) and found that they 
use unicode for calendar notes, but it doesn't seem the case for 3330 (I 
tried to recompile with NK6100_CAP_CAL_UNICODE just in case).

Is this encoding used elsewere?
