Does anyone have a reference to a good survey of the state of the art for use of
Unicode on handhelds?

Any experience/info/observatins re...
* Message length being rather shorter in Unicode SMS than with 7 or 8 bit
* Preferences oin design & programming for UTF-8 or -16? (a quick Google pulled
up references to the latter)
* Characters for menus and canned messages are in come graphic form (not text)?
* Is there any problem, resistance to use of Unicode specific to mobiles other
than storage space and perhaps combining diacritics?

TIA...
