Unicode in SMS

Thanks to Skype, now I know why each time I type my name (François) correctly at the end of an SMS, its length limit suddenly drops by 91 chars: because certain chars (like ç or €) cause the SMS character set to switch from GSM to Unicode. With the former set an SMS is limited to 160 chars, while it's only 70 with the later.
