How to send sms using unicode via api gateway?

Question

Python

In general, I chose a site to send SMS on behalf of my company. But by default, there is no way to send SMS in Russian. I wrote to support, here's what they told me. But I can't figure out what the code should look like. Can someone show an example? With filled lines for example. Help me please. I am attaching the default code and the answer to my appeal to the question. Thanks for answers.

In principle, technical support gave you a ready-made code.
It is necessary to encode the SMS body itself in UCS-2.
UCS-2 is a character encoding standard in which characters are represented by 16 fixed length bits (2 bytes). It is used as a fallback in many GSM networks when the message cannot be encoded with GSM-7 or when the language requires more than 128 characters to display (eg UTF-8).

from binascii import hexlify

url = "..."
querystring = {..., ...,}
headers = {...}

content = querystring['content'].encode('utf-16-be')
querystring['content'] = hexlify(content).decode('utf-8')

responce = request.....

For example:

from binascii import hexlify
querystring = {'content': 'Привет'}
content = querystring['content'].encode('utf-16-be')
querystring['content'] = hexlify(content).decode('utf-8')
print(querystring)
