Unicode characters in SMS messages sent from DHIS2

Hi. I wanted to see what people’s mileage was attempting to send SMS messages from the DHIS2 server via Clickatell with non-Latin characters (specifically Nepalese which has been UTF-8 encoded). The SMS when received by a device capable of rendering UTF-8 in this language does not display the characters, but rather the UTF-8 escape sequence as text. Tried to send the same text through Skype (to be sure it was not an operator issue) and it came out fine.

Any ideas?

Best regards,

Jason
