Wanted to amend this list of character encodings with another one I came across recently -- GSM-7, used for SMS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSM_03.38#GSM_7-bit_default_al... If a message you send includes other Unicode characters than that, including emoji, it will cost more to send and use UCS-2 encoding (which later became UTF-16).
