Unicode messaging

Hello everyone,
I wonder if you could help me with this one.
A friend of mine has a Motorola Triumph and he wants to send messages in Unicode.
When he sends a message in another alphabet (Cyrillic) all the addressee gets is some strange symbols.
CM7-TG-Reloaded ROM is installed, dated 21 January 2012, but there doesn't seems to be a way to turn Unicode messaging on.
This setting seems to be omitted in the original ROM as well.
Is there any application that could solve the problem?
Thank you in advance!

SMS coding

Hi
I'm having a problem with android 4.0.4. I'm portuguese and when I send text messages with special characters like ã or ^^ or ç, the other phones receive this with strange characters.
I discovered this happens because of the sms codification used by my phone. Is there anyway to change this?
It only happens with this smartphone..
Thanks.

[Q] merging multiple sms for the recipient to receive as one message

Hello there. At&t user here. I have been using at&t for a while and can't switch carriers, and was wondering if anyone could solve this dilemma for me. Using a nexus s, cyanogenmod.
I need long messages to get merged to one message for the recipient, which would probably best be suited by having them converted to mms.
I was wondering if anyone knows an app that can do this.
Handcent for example, merges them into one and converts to mms, but it needs the sms to be at least 3 sms's long before it does that, so that ones that are between 160-320 characters still get split. I know that gosms doesn't allow this either. This is work-related, so if anyone could help me I would be forever thankful.

[Q] Emoji broken after 4.4.1 update?

Hi all,
I just updated my Nexus 5 to 4.4.1. After exchanging a few emails with a friend of mine, I noticed that gmail wasn't displaying emojis properly. When composing a message, I can input emoji no problem and they appear fine but after I send the email, all the recipient and I can see is something like this:
Code:
&#xxxxxx;
where xxxxxx is some kind of emoji number. Downgrading gmail, downgrading google keyboard or using the iWinn emoji keyboard gave me the same result. Downgrading to 4.4 fixed the problem. I'd much rather stay on 4.4.1 because of the camera improvements. Has anyone else come across this problem? Does anyone have any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks!

I'm having this problem, too, on my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (2013 version) since the 4.4.2 update. I can read other people's emoji (from iPhone) but can't send. When I look in my sent box, the emoji are broken there (#&xxxxxx), too.
edit: appeard to be still working in my twitter app, but not the gmail app
update:
It appears that certain emoji work and others do not, for example I tried a random set of 10-ish:
???????
Those two in the middle are the working ones.
The "source" (go into gmail website and hit "original message" on the email) looks like the following:
??=E2=99=8B=E2=99=89????=E2=
=9B=AA?
Going to try to downgrade to 4.4 probably, if this doesn't get fixed somehow... or try CM.

[Q] Sending SMS in Hebrew does not work

Hi there,
I am trying to send sms in Hebrew in my moto g , kitkat and it does not work (The os is in full Hebrew from Google).
when i am writing a text in Hebrew and sending it , the message appears to be empty (and the recipient getting an empty message).
In my previous galaxy 2 there was a setting under SMS->settings to change the sending mode to auto that fixed this issue.
I can't find this settings in the new hangout.
Thanks,
Update:
At the moment , the only way to overcome the problem is just installing a third party sms app.
It is a bit silly that google merged the sms and hangouts all together and removed the access to the setting to resolve it...
I have installed chompsms from the play store
If anyone has a way to solve it with the built in apps , I would appreciate it.
Thanks
