can you elaborate about the "it appears that the emulator may be converting
the message into 7 bit encoding" ?
when using 'sms send <number> <message>', the content of <message> must be
utf-8, with a few escape conventions added in (type 'help sms send' for more
details)
internally, the SMS spec allows you to send messages in either the 7-bit GSM
alphabet or UCS-2 and the emulator will choose the proper encoding based on
the content of <message>. it will also do all the gritty-nitty segmentation
for you (since each SMS PDU is quite limited in size)
there is a known bug where any characters in the "escaped section" of the
GSM alphabet (i.e. anything in [|]{}~^) will not generate a totally proper
message, but this will be addressed in a later release...
