If the received character is U+0020 instead of U+1200, then chances are that
the message is being restricted to 7-bit somewhere along the line. This is
somewhat alluded to in the SDK Reference
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/SmsMessage.html#calculateLength(java.lang.CharSequence,%20boolean
)
Another problem may be the font. Have you installed the Ethiopian fonts in
your device or emulator? I just tried adding ቁ into an Android
application's string.xml res file. On both the emulator and the Droid, the
character is displayed as a small rectangle.
It may help in debugging to try some Latin-1/ISO-8859-1 characters, such as
U+00E3. This would test the 7-bit issue without having to install Ethiopian
fonts on the emulator or device.
