For SIP, using UTF-8 in the configuration file. If not SIP, please tell us what protocol you are using.

I don’t know how well typical phones handle characters outside the core ASCII (7 bit) range. I’m pretty sure I failed with Chinese characters.

Yes we are usin the SIP protocol.

I have checked and the configuration file is stored in UTF-8. We are seeing the same issue with real time peers.

Then look at what is on the wire. Maybe the phone doesn’t support non-ASCII characters.

What is the phone displaying in place of the problem character?
