Hi Vratislav,

Unfortunately we don't have a way to specify the character set when submitting a text file via the web interface.

(And it surprises me a little that we don't default to UTF-8 ... but when you use this function in the web interface, the gateway actually ends up calling MMSCOMP, and UTF-8 is not the default for MMSCOMP.)

I suppose it would be for us to insert a config parameter to allow you to pass "-cUTF-8" in to MMSCOMP when it gets called in this manner. Send an e-mail to nowsms@now.co.uk, referencing this issue, and I'll e-mail you an update that has such a configuration parameter.
