When sending Japanese characters in SMS body, the message that goes out to the provider is not being encoded correctly.
If you set the SMS body to either:
Original: 日本語
Encoded (UTF-8): %e6%97%a5%e6%9c%ac%e8%aa%9e
It shows up at the destination as '???'
Here's the curl command to send the message:
curl -X POST http://sid:pwd@ip/restcomm/2012-04-24/Accounts/ACae6e420f425248d6a26948ages -d "To=number" -d "From=number" -d "Body=%e6%97%a5%e6%9c%ac%e8%aa%9e"
Here is the resulting payload from the SMS API:
<RestcommResponse>
