Handling extension character table of GSM 7 bit default alphabet | Telit Cinterion IoT Developer Community

How does a programmer, who uses gsm-7bit, know when a character from the extension character table is being transmitted to application ?

I understand now that gsm-7bit characters below 32, as well as the '\' and '"' characters themselves, are sent using the '\nn' notation, where nn is the hex digits for the character value in gsm-7bit. Are the characters in the extension character table sent in the same way ?
