Pixel 3 SMS french characters. (Unicode?)

[jefflessard]

Note of interest maybe. I noticed that when I exchange with someone who also has enhanced messaging activated (RCS) the problem is not present. So, probably as something to do with the SMS protocol or something.

I currently have the same problem. Will try the RCS trick...

I am also experiencing this issue with a samsung galaxy s8. Very annoying.

I have this issue as well

I really think it is a network problem.  I'm no expert, but....

Same problem here with my Pixel 2xl. Was always able to wright with é ç ê and other french symbols, but since a week, my contacts are telling me that they receive things like "agr?able" when it is suppose tout be "agréable".
Didn't change any settings so it's surely a network bug

Did some test with someone else :
SMS to SMS : ? instead of special characters

RCS to SMS : ? instead of special characters
RCS to RCS : Works fine.

Pretty sure something is up with Rogers SMS.
