Unicode is not an encoding. It's just a list or table of characters
(glyphs).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode
Unicode is typically represented in encodings (misleadingly called
"charsets") such as UTF-8, UTF-16 ...

Interesting. Maybe an Asterisk developer can comment on that.
I'd try to type the character (latin small letter e with acute) in
the text editor of your choice and either save the file in
ISO-8859-1 encoding or in UTF-8 encoding so when viewed in a
hexdump (hd) it has 2 bytes: C3 A9

But I thought you were trying to avoid "non-english" characters
because the phone doesn't display them anyway.
If that's what you want then just send one of the decompositioned
forms, namely "e´" or just "e" (easy to type).
