Invalid unicode characters error thrown
i am trying to send sms in hindi language. For that i have to supply unicode character of the hindi message as a message body of the sms which was in string type.
I tried using google translation, i can see the hindi language properly, but while supplying the unicode in the code behind to the sms function, Invalid unicode characters
error comes up.
Is there any method to convert that string into proper unicode character?
Please help.
I am using visual web developer express edition 2008(asp.net with c#)

Use byte[] instead of string to read and pass your data around
