Hello

If You really want to know what is sent to the IP could called Internet:

1. tcpdump -s 1500 -vvni eth0 host IP_of_SMSC and port SMSC_PORT -w SMSC.LOG
2. send the message
3. open file SMSC.LOG with wireshark - http://www.wireshark.org/ , here You will able to 'see' only smpp traffic for example and exclude all other types of traffic
4. look for 'Message' field at the end of packet,and look for the bytes actually sent
5. compare whem with specification - http://www.unicodemap.org/ , depending on unicode extension map You're trying to use
6. be sure You destination mobile handset is compliant with that unicode map
7. if everything is ok,and messages are still corrupted,issue official complain to SMSC guys

Comparing to GSM 03.38,ISO-8895-01,etc. encoding scheme,Unicode has one big advantage:

each byte send must not been altered in any way

meaning You send byte,You receive byte

if dealing with encoding to/from various format it's usually boiling head You will get :)

only disadvantage in using Unicode is that Your max message length is half of the 'normal' GSM message

Sincerely

Dragan
