gnokii sendsms problem with special characters after ubuntu upgrade

[Pablo Reyes]

Hi

When migrate to Ubuntu 12 and gnokii v 0.6.30, special characters don't work.

For example:

# echo "hi ñoño" | gnokii --sendsms  2604530000

send sms and I receive in my mobile this

"hi  )o )o"

I try with 

# LANG=en_US.UTF-8

but don't work.

Any ideas? 

Thanks a lot in advance. Regards...
