Hi,
Convert your Chinese subject text to the UTF-8 character set. (Although Chinese phones can generally handle native Chinese text in the text of an MMS message, we've seen issues where they will not recognise native Chinese text in the subject header even if you do insert the proper character set parameter.)
Then, use the following encoding in your subject line header of the request that is passed to MMSCOMP:
Subject: =?utf-8?UTF8 Encoded Subject
You could also tell MMSCOMP to encode the subject with BIG5 text with the following subject header:
Subject: =?big5?Big5Characters
We have just had past experience that with some Nokia phones, they will display the subject OK in the inbox view when encoded this way, but the subject is corrupted when you open the message.
More recent versions of MMSCOMP (like the version included in v5.51) will also apply the -cCHARSET parameter to the Subject line as a default, so that it is not necessary to include this override in the subject header. For example, if all of your text is in UTF-8 encoding, just pass a -cUTF-8 parameter to MMSCOMP, and it will set the appropriate headers in the MMS message to indicate that the UTF-8 character set is being used.
