title: Unicode character in android sms
body: <p>In my sms sending application is using a degree symbol(°) in message.  By the using the symbol, the length of the message is reduced to 70 chars (unicode sms) instead of 160 chars.  So my total message's length is 150 chars and it costs 3 sms.  How can i send this message as a normal message.</p>
  
  <p>any solution is appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>thanks in advance</p>
