Question

How do I send a Unicode message via Email-to-SMS?

Answer

All that is required to send a Unicode message is to ensure that the header of the email states that it is encoded in UTF-8. This will signal to our email parser that the message is a Unicode message.

However, if the actual SMS message does not contain any Unicode characters, then our email parser will fall back on to plain text, thereby ensuring the best of both worlds.
