guys i have the same problem as you ... i have sprint HTC Touch and i can read and write in Arabic but when i send sms the other party (or to myself) all i get is __________ or &&&& ... to solve this problem you will need to change the HTC_SMS_Providers.dll and SMS_Providers.dll in the windows directory... but since those files are ROM files you can overwrite them or even extract them... if we can get those two files off any other generic CDMA phone we will be able to send fine...

that was an easy solution if we can find those files...

the other way i got to send Arabic text (unicode characters) is to flash my rom to Hutch's ROM which is for Thai region... and vola all worked fine now i can send in unicode and the other party would receive it fine..

if we could just extract those files from the hutch rom we can use our stock rom without the need to flash to other roms!!
