Ruby Method for encoding Bangla Unicode Text to Hex Value to Send Bangla SMS using SSLWireless

15 Jun 2020

The following ruby method converts an Bengali Text to Hex value.

def encode_for_bangla_sms( text )
	text.encode('utf-16be').unpack('H*').to_s.gsub!(/\W/,'').upcase
end

text_bangla = "১ ২ ৩, ১ ২ ৩ "
text_encoded = encode_for_bangla_sms text_bangla
#09E7002009E8002009E9002C002009E7002009E8002009E90020

SSLWireless providers a different stakeholder id for Bangla SMS. So if you use that along with the hex value, you should receive the Bangla text.
