Alphabet and message length

English text fits the GSM-7 alphabet, so a single SMS to New Zealand carries 160 characters and each part of a longer one carries 153. One emoji or curly quote turns the whole text into Unicode at 70 characters per segment; the composer names that character and can swap quotes and dashes for plain ones.
