Gammu-smsd-inject dont send UTF-8 characters æøå

ubuntu-12.04

When issuing this command gammu-smsd-inject TEXT 123-text "abcæøå" I will receive a SMS without æøå. This has obvious something with character encoding to do, I have tried several options to the command, -unicode -utf8

gammu is configured with file-backend and not database, does this have something to say

As an immediate solution you can force gammu to use unicode:

[smsd]
OutboxFormat = unicode
TransmitFormat = unicode

Then switch TransmitFormat to auto if the above works.
