im editing my ppm file at the minute, one to put the carriage return in, but also trying to change the order of key presses when typing (without a dictionary)

in the ppm, we see the section:



1297 ENGL ABC2\xC4\x14\x15\x16\x17\xC6\xC7
1298 ENGL abc2\xE4\xE0\x80\x81\xE6\x82
1299 ENGL DEF3\x1A\xC9\x1C\x1B
1300 ENGL def3\xE8\xE9\x84\x83
1301 ENGL GHI4\x1F[\x1D\x1E{\x18
1302 ENGL ghi4\x86\x87\xEC\x85|\x19
1303 ENGL JKL5\xA3
1304 ENGL jkl5\xA3
1305 ENGL MNO6\xD6^\\]\xD8\xD1
1306 ENGL mno6\xF6\x89\xF2\x88\xF8\xF1
1307 ENGL PQRS7$
1308 ENGL pqrs7$\xDF
1309 ENGL TUV8\xDC`~}
1310 ENGL tuv8\xFC\xF9\x8C\x8A
1311 ENGL WXYZ9
1312 ENGL wxyz9



now.. i think this is the key presses section.
looking at the frist line.. obviously the \xC4\x14 and so on are the special characters like áâã ..

and i know the gsm alphabet doesnt support all these. e.g., my 3310 nokia has ÄÀÁÂÃÆ
but only Ä and Æ are in the gsm alphabet.. if sending the others, they become just a plain A (nokia idiots), and NO i dont want unicode..

so what i want to do is rip out the lame stuff that nokia doesnt support anyway, and put in most everything that nokia supports, that is also in the gsm alphabet.

so im looking at the hex codes for the gsm alphabe, and they arent the same as the \x codes in the nokia.. nokia says \xC4 is a Ä, but gsm alphabet says this is 0x5B

-
so what i want to know is, has someone got a list of all characters that the nokia can draw, and what are their \x codes?

thanks

Hi,

I not quite understand what U search, but I have a method.

Install this font in Windows.

Get the 127 byte of the 2nd table of the GSMC chunk.

Display them somehow with this Font. :)

That'll make Ur gsm Alphabet visible on Ur pc.

Hi NokDoc..

the thing i am confused by however.. maybe it is ppm manager mangling the string up... but look at this line:



1308 ENGL pqrs7$\xDF


now, that "\xDF" is a german SS symbol (it looks like B witha tail on it. it is only drawn by nokia when in lowercase mode, and press 7 five times..)

but in your table. it only goes to 0x7F.. so howcome nokia knows \xDF..

i need to translate the codes for teh GSM alphabet 0x??, into the
codes for nokia \x??

because i cannot assume that they are the same..

e.g., from your table, i know this:

Æ = 0x1C
but from PPM export.. Æ is present on this line:
1297 ENGL ABC2\xC4\x14\x15\x16\x17\xC6\xC7
in that \xC6 position


so my nokia thinks \xC6 is an Æ, but the gsm alphabet lists Æ as 0x1C

do you see the problem? i cannot convert 0x1C into \xC6.. i dont know the logic! if i write \x1C into the nokia ppm, it wont display Æ

so what i want, is a list of ALL characters that a nokia can display, and what are their \x?? codes

if you simply want to add or arrange the character sequence for the keypress... use PPMMaker by Al. find some text that contains Æ or use the Character Map from Windows and paste it in there. You'll save yourself getting dizzy with those \x?? codes
