This section provides tables for the GSM 03.38 alphabet supported by the ME. Below any GSM character find the
corresponding two byte character value of the UCS2 alphabet.
Figure 1.1: Main character table of GSM 03.38 alphabet
This code is an escape to the following extension of the 7 bit default alphabet table.
1.
This code is not a printable character and therefore not defined for the UCS2 alphabet. It shall be treated as the
2.
accompanying control character.
As the standard GSM alphabet does not provide a backspace functionality, the Multi-Tech EDGE modem is
3.
designed to use the GSM character 08 (hex 0x08) as backspace. This allows the user to easily erase the last
character when using an ASCII terminal. On the other hand, this solution requires entering the escape sequence
\08 for writing the "ò" character in GSM alphabet.
