SMS's for some languages are indeed in unicode, often one message is sent in a multipart message - i.e. - in more than one message. Even in various Nordic languages that have strange things like Ã, Ã, Ã ... SMS's are sent in unicode.
Some cell phones sport pen input, but also support Asian text input via a stroke system via the normal digit keypad.
