Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Add translation of SMS UCS2 to UTF-8 Problem

[Andreas Fink <afink@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

PS replacing \n with \r made it readable.

One comment I have is we can not assume UCS2 is in big endian. If I'm not mistaken it can be little endian too. At least in the kannel mailing list there where a few patches lately for BE versus LE support. Besides that, I think it's the right thing to do. If the font is missing to display arabic for example, we would not see anything (or mabye some carets) but thats as good as displaying it in ASCII which would be rubbish too. So attempting to display in Unicode is the right thing. If you cant read it for whatever reason, you have to consult the hex display anyway.

I tried the patch out but it freezes my wireshark under MacOS X with:
