Nokia 

							PC Suite is an application offered by Nokia that 

							allows users owning a nokia phone to do various 

							useful things such as viewing stored sms, edit 

							catalog entries, view stored pictures etc. One of 

							its major drawbacks is that it fails to show 

							properly greek characters in sms. This doesn't 

							happen for every character, but for the greek 

							characters that do not exist in the latin alphabet 

							and for the sms messages stored in gsm 7 bit file 

							letter encoding (which means for most sms). The 

							reason it happens, is very simple and it is very 

							surprising that Nokia people haven't discovered it 

							yet. So the reason is that, although GSM 7 bit 

							character encoding does 1 to 1 mapping between GSM 7 

							bit character encoding and Unicode encoding for 

							latin letters it doesn't do the same for the greek 

							letters. To be more clear, GSM 7 bit encoding and 

							Unicode encoding for latin letter R is the same, but 

							this is not the case for all greek letters 

							represented in GSM 7 bit character encoding.

							code)&nbsp; that I created that solves the problem 

							for sms stored in a pc. The only thing it does is to&nbsp; 

							look for greek characters in stored sms and 

							replacing them with the proper unicode code.</p>
