Obviously, the phone (Thomson st2030s) displays several latin charsets but
the media to use for that is to use SIP MESSAGE.
Thanks to your (crystal clear) explaination, I suppose I can't tailor
SendText to use UTF-8 encoding so I typed the decompositioned form (ie
"e´").
It doesn't display the way I wanted to.

If I could simply use non-ascii in dialplay functions ...

I also tried URIENCODE ...
