Public bug reported:

When attempting to send an SMS message with Clickatell in a complex
script (i.e. Hindi), the characters are not rendered properly.

Steps to reproduce.

1) Go to translate.google.com and translate "This is a test message" from English to Hindi, which results in 
यह एक परीक्षण संदेश है. 

2) Send this message through DHIS2 using a Clickatell gateway.

3) Escaped, plain text characters are displayed in the phone (even
though it supports Hindi UNICODE).

4) Send the same Hindi message through Skype, and the message is
displayed properly.

Possible fix is detailed here (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/874321
