An SMS is counted in bytes, while some unicode characters use several.
I did not know you get get to 6 bytes for a quote symbol though.

Some ways to check this:

* ssh into the phone with X11 forwarding. Run the sms app so you
   see it on the PC screen. Copy the sms text via the clipboard,
   save it to a file, then examine to see how many bytes that
   quote uses.


* Add some debugging code to the sms app, to find out what happens.
