Hi,

I am new to this forum, and I have problems.
I own a Sprint Touch.
I have installed a program Diopen, which installs the Korean IME and the font. So far I am able to read the Korean and write it through IE and Contacts, etc.

However, when I send a txt message and email that I wrote with Korean, the receivers (including me, I sent to myself both txt and email) only see ??? for email, and ____ for txt message.

Is there any way to see foreign language on emails and txt message?
At least for the email, I mean, email suppose to support all langaguages, but even the computer with various encodings shows the broken ???? letters.....

Help will be much appreciated

Thank You.

to add this, I use Windows Live for email and text.
I searched through the forum, so far the only solution for text message seems to change the setting to Unicode.

However, I dont see the setting that changes the message to Unicode on Windows Live.....

Are you in Korea when you sent the messages?

I read about that text messages managed by Korean telcom operators are encoded in KSC5601, instead of unicode which is used by other non-western languages like Chinese or Japanese. As such, unicode-typed korean text messages sent or received from oversea operators are not compatible, unless interoperability is ensured by the overseas carriers themselves. Not too sure but I read in the news that some cellphone operators in Philippines maybe one of them.

I am using Sprint Touch, also I am not sending txt oversea..

However, emails also doesnt work.. I used the encodings Korean, UTF-8 and Western European, but still the computer reads the emails full of '???????'

I tried mixing up the letters, I send 'ABCD (some korean)' and the email reads from my computer as 'ABCD ?????'. English reads perfectly but korean doesnt.

So far I have assumed to be and hoped to be only software problems, but someone from ppcgeek said that Sprint doesnt support Unicode? so that foreign languages cannot be sent.

edit...

it's not working.. i need to find a better way to extract those dll... in the mean time you can flash to hutch's rom and you will be able to send as unicode..

cheers
