+===== How to manage arabian characters encoding =====
+This article illustrates how to manage the Arabian characters' encoding inside of the messages of your FoxBox.
+In order to correctly handle other alphabets on received SMS, you just have to modify the //Eventhandler// inserting these new rows:
+<code>
+#We are creating a Custom Action for incoming messages
+if [ "$1" = "RECEIVED" ]; then
+    #We check for the alphabet used, and we convert the message if we find the arabic one
+    if sed -e '/^$/ q' < "$2" | grep "^Alphabet: UCS2" > /dev/null; then
+        TMPFILE=`mktemp /tmp/smsd_XXXXXX`
+        sed -e '/^$/ q' < "$2" | sed -e 's/Alphabet: UCS2/Alphabet: UTF-8/g' > $TMPFILE
+        sed -e '1,/^$/ d' < "$2" | iconv -f UNICODEBIG -t UTF-8 >> $TMPFILE
+        mv $TMPFILE "$2"
+    fi
+    #As usual, we later parse the message
+    /etc/sms/scripts/parser.php $2
+fi
+</code>
+As a result the arabic characters will be recognized, properly handled and shown.
