My company offers a foreign language Word of the Day service. One of the ways we offer it is through Twitter. Each day we post a new foreign word to our Twitter account (through TwitterFeed). However, the numerous non-English, accented characters contained in these words don't show up properly when people receive the Tweets on their cell phones. Rather, the special characters are removed or replaced with the letter "i" or something like that.
My question is, does SMS not support accented characters? And if it does, how can we encode our data properly? Are we just plain out of luck if we're in the US?
Apologies if this has already been answered; I couldn't find it directly addressed anywhere in this forum...
