title: How to use unicodes or special characters in SMS (Twilio, Plivo)
body: <p>In a case i have to send SMS with two whitespaces at the beginning of the message content as like below</p>
  
  <pre><code>  setparam 3003:70eac;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is for some device configuration. But while receiving the SMS it is</p>
  
  <pre><code>setparam 3003:70eac;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The whitespaces are gone. 
  This is how i send the SMS with php helper library</p>
  
  <pre><code>$client = new Client($account_sid, $auth_token);
  $client-&gt;messages-&gt;create(
      '&lt;to_number&gt;',
      array(
          'from' =&gt; '&lt;from_number&gt;',
          'body' =&gt; '  setparam 3003:70eac;'
      )
  );
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I had also tried by sending as encoded like below</p>
  
  <pre><code>%20%20setparam%203003%3A70eac%3B
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This results without parsing</p>
  
  <pre><code>%20%20setparam%203003%3A70eac%3B
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any help will be great support to me.</p>
