    // SMS character set consist of characters whose value is specified with 7
    // bits. So 128 characters are available in 7-bit SMS character set (default
    // alphabet). However, character set is extended so that if a character in
    // message is ESC (0x1B) the next character is treated as extended character
    // outside the default alphabet. So 7-bit SMS encoding can represent 255
    // different characters when using extended behaviour.
    //
    // The default alphabet is specified in ETSI "GSM 03.38". However, to
    // quickly view standard characters and extended ones, refer to
    // (http://www.ozeki.hu/index.phtml?ow_page_number=137) or to
    // (http://www.csoft.co.uk/character_sets/gsm.htm) or google with search
    // string "GSM character set" or "SMS character set".
    //
    // GSM 03.38 specification specifies that SMS message can be encoded with
    // four character encodings. This example codes the string with default
    // 7-bit SMS alphabet. SMS can consist of maximum of 160 characters. Packing
    // mechanism specified in GSM 03.38 makes it possible to pack 160 7-bit
    // characters to 140 bytes.
    //
    // Symbian provices character conversion for SMS 7-bit SMS data. However, it
    // doesn't use packed format specified in GSM 03.38. Instead, it treats the
    // binary array (of 8 bit numbers) to store 7 bit SMS characters.
    //
    // Lets assume that we have a SMS that consist of string "6$~5e" (where the
    // 'e' is meant to be an euro sign). The SMS and Unicode character codes for
    // the characters are:
    //
    // char | SMS value (7bit) | Unicode value (16 bit)
    // ------------------------------------------------
    // '6'  |  54              |   54
    // '$'  |   2              |   36
    // '~'  |  27              |  126 // Extended character coded
    //      |  61              |      // with two 7 bit values: ESC+code
    // '5'  |  53              |   53
    // 'e'  |  27              | 8364 // "Euro sign": Extended character
