Hi Guys

I am currently doing this:

IP client(Python) --> send SOAPXML request --> IP Server (Python)

SOAP request:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:req="http:/
/request.messagepush.interfaces.comviva.com" xmlns:xsd="http://request.messagepush.interfaces
.comviva.com/xsd">
<xsd:text>test\ntest\ntest<{[£€&%]}></xsd:text>

From my IP Client:
s.send(data_send.encode('utf-8'))

From my IPServer:
xml_decoded = data.decode('utf-8')
                              xml_root = ET.ElementTree(ET.fromstring(xml_decoded)).getroot()
                              for elem in xml_root.getiterator():
                                             if('{http://request.messagepush.interfaces.comviva.com/xsd}shortCode'==elem.tag):
                                                            shortCode = (elem.text).rstrip()
                                             if('{http://request.messagepush.interfaces.comviva.com/xsd}text'==elem.tag):
                                                            send_text = (elem.text).rstrip()
                                             if('{http://request.messagepush.interfaces.comviva.com/xsd}item'==elem.tag):
                                                            subscribers = (elem.text).rstrip()
                              result_sms = send_sms(subscribers,shortCode,send_text)

It is working fine but I am having problems with a couple of special characters, & and <

The problem:
<xsd:text>test\ntest\ntest<{[£€&%]}></xsd:text>

It seems as if I send this: <> and the character & then I have a problem.
I need to use utf-8 as I need to make sure I get 160 characters in one SMS.
