Hi Johnny, Unicode is a 16-bit character set. The way that it is implemented in SMS, if a message uses Unicode encoding, each character requires 16 bits, and 70 characters can fit into a single SMS. For more info about SMS character sets and message size limits, this is a good article: http://www.nowsms.com/long-sms-text-messages-and-the-160-character-limit | |||
